Interesting. I just came across a new video/podcast website for physical therapists. How fortuitous! In the upcoming PABC newsletter (Summer 2008) “Directions”, I mention the proliferation of physiotherapy videos on sites like YouTube and VideoJug. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, The “Physical Therapy Channel” is modeled on YouTube, and features demonstrations of treatment techniques, rehabilitation products, software demonstrations, rehabilitation facility tours, interviews with physical therapists and other healthcare related disciplines, online in-services, operating room surgeries, and a host of other unique content from the physical therapy industry. According to the site. “all users will have the ability to subscribe, listen, view, upload and share physical therapy videos and podcasts on our website.” Content is created by physical therapists, and the site is to be “a community for media sharing among physical therapists, students, educators, other healthcare disciplines, and rehabilitation product vendors”. It promises to provide videos and podcasts covering all aspects of the physical therapy industry.” There’s not much there yet, but I’m curious about how a website like this will be used by PTs?

Today, I presented two 1.5 hours workshops for the British Columbia Ministry of Health and British Columbia Ministry of Children and Family Development on Web 2.0 in health.
Here is my presentation in PDF format. Below is my presentation embedded in this post.
We had good discussions and brainstorming at the end of the sessions with the ministries folks on how those social technologies could be used in their everyday work and how they might impact their professional and personal lives.
I enjoyed the audience and found folks working in the ministries to be engaging and innovative.
Many thanks to my colleagues and friends whose work and ideas contributed to this presentation: Dean Giustini, Sally Taylor, Lindsay Ure, Katherine Miller, Susan Atkey, Sheryl Adam, David Rothman, Simon Neame, and many others! Please also note the reference list at the end of presentation for further follow-up.
Last week we recorded the systematic review presentations by the graduating class of UBC Master of Physical Therapy 2007 students.
Personally, I have to say that the quality of their studies and presentations was superb! I am very happy to see these guys integrating into BC private and public physiotherapy practices!

On Monday I did a presentation (this is just that time of year when lots of institutions have time to learn and to start new initiatives, so I cannot stop preaching various outreach for libraries 🙂 for Vancouver Coastal Health folks – one of the largest health authorities in Canada on the use of social technology in library outreach.
It was interesting to me to see the differences between the application of those tools in academia (where I am employed) and in hospitals…
Take a look on the presentation in PDF format or see it embedded below:
Still in Okanagan, I am in Penticton today, teaching another workshop for the area physios – I am very excited to be here, love the sun 🙂
Yesterday, I offered a new 1/2 hour workshop – “Staying up-to-date with your practice – current awareness for health professionals” for the first time. It was nicely received by the OK physios.
Take a look yourself. Here is the PDF (400KB) for the workshop. Or below is the embedded powerpoint.
Have a sunny afternoon!
The Journal of the Canadian Health Libraries Association (JCHLA) has published another article of yours truly, this time co-authored with enthusiastic Allan Cho. The article tries to cover the phenomenon of social search in health context. Please take a look – it is free open access:
Introducing Web 2.0: social search for health librarians
The article continues the series of Web 2.0 coverage in health that I co-author with other health librarians:
* Introducing Web 2.0: RSS trends for health librarians >> http://pubs.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/jchla/jchla27/c06-001.pdf
* Introducing Web 2.0: weblogs and podcasting for health librarians >> http://pubs.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/jchla/jchla27/c06-013.pdf
* Introducing Web 2.0: social networking and social bookmarking for health librarians >> http://pubs.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/jchla/jchla27/c06-024.pdf
The next article will cover one of the most controversial topics in social technology – wikis!

This is our Friday fun and learn for today….we are going to learn more about RSS feeds today. You have seen my article in the PABC newsletter, and might have even read a specific article that I wrote last year on RSS and health literature – “Introducing Web 2.0: weblogs and podcasting for health librarians”
In a nutshell, you will use RSS feeds to collect all new info that comes from all over the web in one place – your online RSS reader!
Today, take a couple of minutes to take a look on that simple video that explain RSS in regular language.
Have fun!
On Monday, May 28th, Dean Giustini and I have presented a 3.5 hours workshop for the Canadian health librarians on using social software in health libraries.
We have a wiki with the full topic coverage here.
Moreover, here is our short powerpoint (note to RSS readers – this is an embedded PPT)
Our sense was that the workshop was useful and was well received by the librarians in the audience. We will also receive an official feedback soon 🙂
My paper on Web 2.0 tools in health library practice and outreach is to be presented tomorrow as well…
