Evaluation of the Pedagogical Impact of "Traum'Cast" Podcast: A Pilot Study Based on Metacognition.

Introduction: With the evolution of educational tools, the French Military medical service has created a podcast program, Traum'Cast, about the principles of war medicine, accessible online for free.

Method: Our objective was to measure the learning effect of the Traum'Cast program's first episode. A non-randomized pilot trial between July and December 2021 included 80 health care providers: 40 in the video podcast group compared to 40 in a group reading a pdf file providing the same information.

Traum'cast: an online, open-access educational video podcast series for teaching military trauma care to all healthcare providers.

The aim of this paper was to describe the development of 'Traum'cast', an ambitious project to create a high-quality, open-access, 12-week video podcast programme providing evidence-based continuing medical education for civilian and military healthcare practitioners dedicated to the management of trauma caused by weapons of war. The management of such patients became a particular public health issue in France following the 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris, which highlighted the need for all healthcare professionals to have appropriate knowledge and training in such situations. In 2016, the French Health General Direction asked the French Military Medical Service (FMMS) to create a task force and to use its unique and considerable experience to produce high-quality educational material on key themes including war injuries, combat casualty care, triage, damage control surgery, transfusion strategies, psychological injury and rehabilitation.

The French Pre-Deployment Advanced Course in Anesthesia and Resuscitation: Development and Future Prospects.

Introduction: Military anesthesiologists from the French Military Medical Service (FMMS) are part of the Forward Surgical Teams deployed in overseas military operations. The practice of anesthesia in combat zones requires specific skills that are not taught during the initial curriculum for French civilian anesthesiologist. The Pre-Deployment Advanced Course in Anesthesia and Resuscitation (DACAR) program was developed to prepare military anesthesiologist from the FMMS before their deployment in overseas military operations.
