Remember that 737 MAX whose door plug blew out in flight?

A boeing whistleblower created a burner account and reported the following (reproduced here in its entirety in case the original gets deleted):

Current Boeing employee here – I will save you waiting two years for the NTSB report to come out and give it to you for free: the reason the door blew off is stated in black and white in Boeings own records. It is also very, very stupid and speaks volumes about the quality culture at certain portions of the business.

A couple of things to cover before we begin:

Q1) Why should we believe you? A) You shouldn’t, I’m some random throwaway account, do your own due diligence. Others who work at Boeing can verify what I say is true, but all I ask is you consider the following based on its own merits.

Q2) Why are you doing this? A) Because there are many cultures at Boeing, and while the executive culture may be throughly compromised since we were bought by McD, there are many other people who still push for a quality product with cutting edge design. My hope is that this is the wake up call that finally forces the Board to take decisive action, and remove the executives that are resisting the necessary cultural changes to return to a company that values safety and quality above schedule.

With that out of the way… why did the left hand (LH) mid-exit door plug blow off of the 737-9 registered as N704AL? Simple- as has been covered in a number of articles and videos across aviation channels, there are 4 bolts that prevent the mid-exit door plug from sliding up off of the door stop fittings that take the actual pressurization loads in flight, and these 4 bolts were not installed when Boeing delivered the airplane, our own records reflect this.

The mid-exit doors on a 737-9 of both the regular and plug variety come from Spirit already installed in what is supposed to be the final configuration and in the Renton factory, there is a job for the doors team to verify this “final” install and rigging meets drawing requirements. In a healthy production system, this would be a “belt and suspenders” sort of check, but the 737 production system is quite far from healthy, its a rambling, shambling, disaster waiting to happen. As a result, this check job that should find minimal defects has in the past 365 calendar days recorded 392 nonconforming findings on 737 mid fuselage door installations (so both actual doors for the high density configs, and plugs like the one that blew out). That is a hideously high and very alarming number, and if our quality system on 737 was healthy, it would have stopped the line and driven the issue back to supplier after the first few instances. Obviously, this did not happen. Now, on the incident aircraft this check job was completed on 31 August 2023, and did turn up discrepancies, but on the RH side door, not the LH that actually failed. I could blame the team for missing certain details, but given the enormous volume of defects they were already finding and fixing, it was inevitable something would slip through- and on the incident aircraft something did. I know what you are thinking at this point, but grab some popcorn because there is a plot twist coming up.

The next day on 1 September 2023 a different team (remember 737s flow through the factory quite quickly, 24 hours completely changes who is working on the plane) wrote up a finding for damaged and improperly installed rivets on the LH mid-exit door of the incident aircraft.

A brief aside to explain two of the record systems Boeing uses in production. The first is a program called CMES which stands for something boring and unimportant but what is important is that CMES is the sole authoritative repository for airplane build records (except on 787 which uses a different program). If a build record in CMES says something was built, inspected, and stamped in accordance with the drawing, then the airplane damn well better be per drawing. The second is a program called SAT, which also stands for something boring and unimportant but what is important is that SAT is *not* an authoritative records system, its a bullentin board where various things affecting the airplane build get posted about and updated with resolutions. You can think of it sort of like a idiots version of Slack or something. Wise readers will already be shuddering and wondering how many consultants were involved, because, yes SAT is a *management visibilty tool*. Like any good management visibilty tool, SAT can generate metrics, lots of metrics, and oh God do Boeing managers love their metrics. As a result, SAT postings are the primary topic of discussion at most daily status meetings, and the whole system is perceived as being extremely important despite, I reiterate, it holding no actual authority at all.

We now return to our incident aircraft, which was written up for having defective rivets on the LH mid-exit door. Now as is standard practice kn Renton (but not to my knowledge in Everett on wide bodies) this write-up happened in two forms, one in CMES, which is the correct venue, and once in SAT to “coordinate the response” but really as a behind-covering measure so the manager of the team that wrote it can show his boss he’s shoved the problem onto someone else. Because there are so many problems with the Spirit build in the 737, Spirit has teams on site in Renton performing warranty work for all of their shoddy quality, and this SAT promptly gets shunted into their queue as a warranty item. Lots of bickering ensues in the SAT messages, and it takes a bit for Spirit to get to the work package. Once they have finished, they send it back to a Boeing QA for final acceptance, but then Malicious Stupid Happens! The Boeing QA writes another record in CMES (again, the correct venue) stating (with pictures) that Spirit has not actually reworked the discrepant rivets, they *just painted over the defects*. In Boeing production speak, this is a “process failure”. For an A&P mechanic at an airline, this would be called “federal crime”.

Presented with evidence of their malfeasance, Spirit reopens the package and admits that not only did they not rework the rivets properly, there is a damaged pressure seal they need to replace (who damaged it, and when it was damaged is not clear to me). The big deal with this seal, at least according to frantic SAT postings, is the part is not on hand, and will need to be ordered, which is going to impact schedule, and (reading between the lines here) Management is Not Happy. 1/2

2/2

However, more critical for purposes of the accident investigation, the pressure seal is unsurprisingly sandwiched between the plug and the fuselage, and you cannot replace it without opening the door plug to gain access. All of this conversation is documented in increasingly aggressive posts in the SAT, but finally we get to the damning entry which reads something along the lines of “coordinating with the doors team to determine if the door will have to be removed entirely, or just opened. If it is removed then a Removal will have to be written.” Note: a Removal is a type of record in CMES that requires formal sign off from QA that the airplane been restored to drawing requirements.

If you have been paying attention to this situation closely, you may be able to spot the critical error: regardless of whether the door is simply opened or removed entirely, the 4 retaining bolts that keep it from sliding off of the door stops have to be pulled out. A removal should be written in either case for QA to verify install, but as it turns out, someone (exactly who will be a fun question for investigators) decides that the door only needs to be opened, and no formal Removal is generated in CMES (the reason for which is unclear, and a major process failure). Therefore, in the official build records of the airplane, a pressure seal that cannot be accessed without opening the door (and thereby removing retaining bolts) is documented as being replaced, but the door is never officially opened and thus no QA inspection is required. This entire sequence is documented in the SAT, and the nonconformance records in CMES address the damaged rivets and pressure seal, but at no point is the verification job reopened, or is any record of removed retention bolts created, despite it this being a physical impossibility. Finally with Spirit completing their work to Boeing QAs satisfaction, the two rivet-related records in CMES are stamped complete, and the SAT closed on 19 September 2023. No record or comment regarding the retention bolts is made.

I told you it was stupid.

So, where are the bolts? Probably sitting forgotten and unlabeled (because there is no formal record number to label them with) on a work-in-progress bench, unless someone already tossed them in the scrap bin to tidy up.

There’s lots more to be said about the culture that enabled this to happened, but thats the basic details of what happened, the NTSB report will say it in more elegant terms in a few years.

King of the North

Narrator: It was a solemn spring day in 1941. On top of hearing the daily news about the bombings throughout the UK, the LNER engines have learned that Sir Nigel Gresley had died at the age of 64. Sir Nigel Gresley was not only the Chief Mechanical Engineer of the railway, but also someone who many of the engines called their father.

(We cut to Sir Nigel Gresley's funeral.)

Narrator: Since the railway still needed to operate only a select number of engines were able to attend the service. Gordon, Scott, Mallard, and Great Northern were there.

(Mallard is crying while Great Northern comforts him while they remain in their engines.)

Mallard: He was so good to, to me.

Great Northern: I know, young one. I know. He was good to all of us.

(Gordon and Scott are standing by his casket. Scott's tearing up to while holding onto Gordon.)

Scott: I can't believe he's gone, brother. I never thought it would happen like this.

Gordon: That illness seemed to be worse than we thought. Humans are after all very fragile compared to us.

Scott: I know but still. He's our father! He made us. We wouldn't exist if he didn't create us.

(Gordon sighs.)

Gordon: At the end of the day, he was a business man. He always wanted us to compete for his favor. You saw how he praised Mallard. He only did it because Mallard broke the speed record.

(Scott looks at his brother feeling even more dejected.)

Scott: Gordon how can you say that? He loved us!

(Gordon backs away.)

Gordon: No. He loved you.

(Before Scott could say anything, Gordon goes back to his engine.)

Narrator: Scott wants to go after Gordon. He knows something is bothering his brother.

Great Northern: I suggest you leave him be, Scott. Gordon clearly needs to have some time alone.

(Scott turns his head.)

Scott: How can you be so cold, North? Gordon's our brother. He's the oldest out of all of us and would've known Sir Nigel Gresley the longest.

Great Northern: Scott you need to understand that not all of us were cared for by him the way you and Mallard were. Gordon has a lot of feelings about him that need to be processed alone.

(Scott looks confused and dejected.)

Mallard: North what's going to happen to us now? Are we going to be scraped?

Great Northern: No Mallard. We're in the middle of a war and are very vital to the evacuation program. We are at our top forms and can't be scrapped. While most of us are only given numbers, all of us are important. The railway can't afford to scrap us now.

(Mallard settles down.)

Mallard: I understand. So why are you not crying like myself and Scott?

Great Northern (sighing): I admit that I have similar feelings to Gordon. Our creator has not always been so kind. He might have been akin to a father figure, but we are still machines. He simply can not care for us the same way he would his own children.

Scott: Not you too, North. I've never seen him bad mouth a single engine in my life. How could you say that our creator was so cruel?

(Great Northern says nothing.)

Scott: I don't know what you and Gordon have been through, but our creator is still our father. No matter what happens, Sir Nigel Gresley would have never been so awful.

Time Skip

Narrator: Four years have passed as WWII ended. Great Northern had just been selected to be rebuilt by the new CME, Edward Thompson. It was the night before work began and the engines were allowed to have a party.

(Everyone is in their human form.)

Mallard: My word you look wonderful North.

Scott: Indeed. You look like a member of the royal army in that uniform.

(Great Northern stands in the middle of the room with pride.)

Great Northern: Why thank you. This is something that I will never forget. If only Sir Nigel Gresley was alive to be here.

Gordon (huffing): You wouldn't be in this position if he was alive. Sir Nigel Gresley would have never approved of your rebuild. Why you're still in fine condition just the way you are.

(Great Northern smiles solemnly.)

Great Northern: I understand your concern, brother. But for tonight, I simply want to enjoy myself. This is my first time out of my engine and I wanted to look my absolute best. I had heard that Scott brought a camera courtesy of his driver. Would you mind taking my picture in this uniform?

(Despite his bad mood, Gordon accepts.)

Gordon: Why of course I will. It wasn't my intention to try to spoil your evening. I will need Scott's help with the camera though.

Narrator: The brothers and Mallard all help with setting up the camera. Great Northern stands in front of the wall looking like a royal officer.

Mallard: This is an amazing pose.

Gordon: Just move a little to the left.

(Great Northern moves over a step.)

Great Northern: Is this better?

Mallard: Yes I think you have the right spot.

(Scott finishes setting up the camera.)

Scott: Ok so just stand still. I'm going to take the picture... now.

(There's a bright flash as the picture is taken.)

Gordon: Done.

Great Northern: Excellent. Now when will we know what the picture looks like?

(Scott thinks.)

Scott: I have no idea. I'll have to ask my driver in the morning.

Great Northern: I see. Either way, thank you all so much for making this night special. I hope to continue working alongside you once my rebuild is completed.

(They all hug.)

Mallard: You will always be our King of the North.

Great Northern: Thank you, Mallard. Thank you.

Narrator: As the night goes on, everyone enjoys themselves. When they were asked to go back to their engines, they all had hope that things would get better. Little did they know, a plan to make nation wide changes to British Rail affecting thousands of engines would be implemented just three years later.

AN: Shout out to @nlliah for requesting this interaction. If anyone wants to request a story feel free to send it in. The next chapters of The Great Race Rewrite and Time Doesn't Heal All Wounds will be my next releases.

The Mesas of Deuteronilus Mensae (16/?)

Scully sighed, the sound of her breath reverberating back to her ears from the dome-like shape of her helmet. Before her sat the spilled contents of Robo-2: all medical equipment that had been destined for the clinic in the HAB, red-brown dust covering the bottom half of each pale suitcase-sized container in a layer as thin as talcum. There was a miniature drift of sand and dust against the outermost ring of them like snow after a northern blizzard. Some of the containers had fallen upright, but most were either on their side or upside down, leaning against their compatriots like soldiers felled in a field of battle.

There was movement to her left, and she looked over to see Shaw approach the mess, the gold of his visor down so that she couldn’t see his face.

“Well ain’t that a bearcat,” the man said through the comm, leaning back with his gloved hands on the bulky hips of his hard suit, which was striped with yellow as bright as a lemon drop.

Scully smiled. Shaw was easy going and kind, and the oldest of the astronauts at 48. He was the only chemist on the crew, and grizzled in a mountain-man kind of way, talking with a slight twang that harkened back to the hills of Appalachia where he’d grown up. He’d gotten his PhD at 20 from Brown University and had won every prize in his field before professionally pivoting and applying to the astronaut program at the ripe old age of 35. The Nerio crew had all happily discovered that his brilliance with chemistry extended to food, even of the freeze-dried or microwaved variety, as he had a knack for combining the premade-frozen dishes NASA had sent with them to create new dishes that were twice as filling and three times as good. “That particular gift comes,” he’d told them when he’d served them a Kung Pao Thanksgiving turkey during the third week of November on their long flight from Earth, “from doing five tours on the Moon. The shit they have up there could be cooked into a brick and survive reentry.” It would be a long day out here with the man, but a companionable one.

“We certainly have our work cut out for us,” Scully replied.

“I won’t lie,” said Shaw, tilting his head back to look up at the Martian sky. “I’d rather manual labor than Shield Duty.”

As they spoke, most of the rest of the crew was on the M/LAV en route to the Larunda, which was beginning what was likely to be the most difficult thing the colonists were tasked with doing for their entire years-long stint on-Planet: the launching of the planetary magnetic shield. Everyone but Scully and Shaw had a critical role in the mission — and only Scully, Shaw, Powers and Ehrlich were currently on Mars — the latter two at hub of the HAB (which everyone had taken to calling Base Base) with Ehrlich serving as Flight Director and Powers as her number two. The shield, in theory, would serve as an artificial magnetosphere, protecting them from any further CMEs, in addition to whatever other radiation space threw their way.

No one knew why Mars’ own natural magnetosphere collapsed, only that about 4.2 billion years ago, it did, leaving the planet with hardly any protection from the sun’s radiation. Over the course of the next 500 million years, exposure to that radiation caused warm and wet Mars to dry up, leaving it the desolate, frigid desert we know today. Like the magnetosphere on Earth (whose bigger mass and gravity assist it in holding onto its atmosphere), Mars’ magnetosphere – in addition to protecting the planet from radiation – was also the only thing that kept the gasses that existed on the planet from being blown away into space.

That’s why the launch of the massive magnetic shield was mission critical to the human colonization of the planet. By placing the shield between Mars and the sun, at the sun-Mars L1 Lagrange point, it would block the planet from the sun’s radiation and solar wind, shielding Mars in its wake. Not only would it protect the current colonists from radiation while out on EVA, but it would enable the planet to start holding onto the gasses released by Mars’ volcanic activity – by blocking the solar wind that would blow them away. Eventually, the atmosphere of Mars would thicken, warming the planet by an average of 4 degrees Celsius — enough to melt the polar ice caps of carbon dioxide, leading to an even stronger greenhouse effect, which would then warm the planet even more — enough to melt the water ice under the polar ice caps, creating oceans on the planet’s surface. Not quite to the scale of those that used to exist on the red planet, but enough to, within a couple generations, transform Mars into a dramatically different world. One much more Earth-like. With a thicker atmosphere, terraforming could begin in earnest, and humans, in only a thousand years, would be able to walk on Mars as though it were a second Earth. Not much would change for the members of the Nerio mission, but humanity would eventually be transformed.

The magnetic shield itself was already in orbit around the planet, sent up by an earlier unmanned mission. The Larunda would need to retrieve it, and, with nearly every astronaut on space EVA, position it perfectly at the Lagrange point. It would be grueling work, necessitating absolute precision.

“I hope they’re okay up there,” Scully said, tilting her own head back to look to the heavens – though there was nothing to see. The M/LAV had launched this morning with Mulder at the helm. Right about now they would begin docking procedures with the Larunda.

“Want to switch over comms to tune in?” Shaw asked, and before Scully could answer, he pressed a few buttons on his arm console and the voices of the crew came through.

“...now, Commander. We’re locked in,” came Mulder’s voice, tinny through the small speakers in her helmet.

“Nice driving, Mulder,” said Ehrlich. “Begin Phase Two.”

“Copy that. Initializing Phase Two.”

There was a brief sough of static as Shaw switched the comms back to the one-on-one channel he was sharing with Scully.

“Sounds like it’s all on track,” the chemist said, and Scully could hear the smile in his voice.

“Sounds like,” she answered, glancing once more up at the rose colored dome of the red planet, hoping their carefully choreographed dance went exactly to plan.

She sighed once more and then stepped forward to begin the task of picking up the spilled cargo and loading it onto a carriage-like dolly they would pull over to the HAB’s closest airlock. From there each container would need to be vacuumed free of dust before they could take it inside and its contents could be examined and re-catalogued. She and Shaw had a long day ahead of them.

As she bent down to lift the first spilled container, Scully thought of Mulder up there, out on EVA, floating in the endless emptiness of space with the rest of the crew, all of them tethered to life by a thin, umbilical-like cord. She looked toward the horizon, close as it was, and though it was even and the horizon flat, she felt ever so slightly imbalanced. She would not feel right until they were back. Until he was back. Mulder.

NOAA's GOES-U completes environmental testing

GOES-U, the fourth and final satellite in NOAA's GOES-R Series of advanced geostationary satellites, recently completed rigorous testing to ensure it can withstand the harsh conditions of launch and orbiting in space 22,236 miles above Earth.

The testing process spanned nearly a year. During thermal vacuum testing, completed in November 2022, GOES-U was placed in a large 29-foot wide by 65-foot deep (9 meter by 20 meter) chamber and subjected to a vast range of temperatures, soaring as high as 188 degrees Fahrenheit (87 degrees Celsius) and dropping as low as minus 67 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 55 degrees Celsius) to simulate the extreme temperatures of launch and the space environment.

In February 2023, GOES-U completed vibration testing, which mimics the stresses it will experience during launch to ensure the satellite doesn't have structural weaknesses. GOES-U then endured the extremely high sound pressure of 138.4 decibels from high-intensity horns during acoustic testing. This testing simulated the noises GOES-U will be subjected to when it is launched.

GOES-U completed shock testing in March 2023. This testing confirmed the satellite will be able to withstand the shocks encountered during separation from the launch vehicle and deployment of the satellite's solar panels.

Electromagnetic interference and electromagnetic compatibility (EMI/EMC) testing, conducted in August 2023, concluded the environmental testing program. EMI/EMC testing ensures that spacecraft functions are not affected by various types of electromagnetic radiation during operations.

The GOES-U team also conducted a solar array deployment test, which verified that the satellite's large, five-panel solar array—which is folded up when the satellite is launched—will properly deploy when GOES-U reaches geostationary orbit.

The deployed solar panels will form a single solar array wing that will rotate once per day to continuously point its photovoltaic (solar) cells toward the sun. The photovoltaic cells will convert energy from the sun into electricity to power the entire satellite, including the instruments, computers, data processors, sensors, and telecommunications equipment.

These tests confirmed the GOES-U satellite and all of its instruments can withstand the launch and maintain functionality in orbit. Lockheed Martin and SpaceX personnel conducted the testing at the Lockheed Martin facility in Littleton, Colorado, where the satellite was built.

While the satellite was being tested to prepare it for the physical conditions of launch and space, the GOES-U mission operations team began critical activities to rehearse launch procedures and test communications between the satellite and ground system.

The mission operations team is performing end-to-end tests that command the satellite from the ground system in Maryland. The end-to-end tests validate the compatibility of space and ground hardware, software, and communications interfaces in a mission operations context.

Most recently, the team conducted testing to verify commands with the new Compact Coronagraph-1 (CCOR-1) instrument. CCOR-1 is a new space weather instrument that will fly on GOES-U and image the solar corona (the outer layer of the sun's atmosphere) to detect and characterize coronal mass ejections (CMEs). CCOR-1 is part of NOAA's Space Weather Follow On mission.

The mission operations team recently began a series of mission rehearsals, which use a satellite simulator and the ground system to train operations personnel and test the readiness of operational products and the ground system.

These rehearsals help to test different parts of launch, like orbit-raising, post-launch separation events, solar array deployment, and propulsion system readiness. They simulate both normal operations and what to do if a procedure doesn't go as planned.

GOES-U is on track for an April 2024 launch from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida aboard a Falcon Heavy launch vehicle. The satellite will be renamed GOES-19 once it reaches geostationary orbit, approximately two weeks after launch. GOES-19 will then undergo an on-orbit checkout of its instruments and systems, followed by validation of the satellite's data products.

NOAA's GOES-R Series is the Western Hemisphere's most advanced weather-observing and environmental-monitoring system. The GOES-R Series Program is a four-satellite mission that includes GOES-R (GOES-16, launched in 2016, now operating as GOES East), GOES-S (GOES-17, launched in 2018, now serving as an on-orbit standby), GOES-T (GOES-18, launched in 2022 and operating as GOES West) and GOES-U.

The satellites provide critical data for weather forecasts and warnings, detection and monitoring of environmental hazards like fire, smoke, fog, volcanic ash, and dust, and monitoring of solar activity and space weather.

The GOES-R Series satellites are planned for operation into the 2030s. Meanwhile, NOAA and NASA are working on the next-generation geostationary satellite mission called Geostationary Extended Observations (GeoXO). GeoXO will continue the observations provided by GOES-R and also bring new capabilities to address major environmental challenges of the future in support of U.S. weather, ocean and climate operations.

The GOES-R and GeoXO Programs are collaborative efforts between NOAA and NASA. NOAA funds and manages the program, operates the satellites, and distributes satellite data products to users worldwide. NASA and commercial partners develop and build the spacecraft and instruments and launch the satellites.

The Numerous Benefits of Hands-On Continuing Medical Education Training

Continuing medical education (CME) is crucial for medical professionals to stay up-to-date with the latest developments, refine their skills, and improve patient care. While online and distance learning have become popular CME delivery modes, hands-on training provides unmatched benefits that no other method can replicate. This article explores the little-known advantages of hands-on CME and why it should be prioritized, especially in developing healthcare systems.

What is Hands-On CME Training?

Hands-on CME involves learning clinical and procedural skills through direct interaction, observation, practice, and receiving feedback rather than traditional lectures or online modules. Learners actively participate in medical simulations, hospital rotations, cadaver dissections, surgical workshops, and more to directly apply their knowledge.

When done right, hands-on CME immerses learners in real-world scenarios to build complex psychomotor and cognitive skills through an experiential "see one, do one, teach one" methodology. Training sites like r3medicaltraining specialize in providing state-of-the-art facilities, anatomage tables, and standardized patients/instructors for such immersive skill-building.

Hands-On Training Boosts Knowledge Retention and Transfer

While online courses are convenient, studies show traditional classroom and hands-on learning result in 15-60% higher knowledge retention rates. When learners actively experience a topic, their brains process and encode memories differently than passive online sessions. Hands-on activities recruit additional brain regions for higher retention.

Furthermore, learners who physically practiced surgical skills retained 70% more abilities at 6 months and 50% at 1 year compared to lecture-based training. When medical professionals directly apply their CME knowledge to real patients, the transfer of learning to clinical practice is maximized. The skills practiced are better equipped to influence job performance and patient outcomes long-term.

Hands-On Environments Foster Mastery

Recent literature finds the most effective way to acquire a new ability is by repeatedly practicing it until the associated neural connections become stronger through experiences of success and failure. Hands-on CME replicates this mastery learning model by:

Promoting iterative guided practice with instructors available for feedback

Allowing learners to progress at their pace through repetitions

Benchmarking performance to competency-based learning outcomes

Troubleshooting mistakes and challenges in a safe learning environment

This iterative practice is difficult to replicate online. Hands-on simulations, for example, grant learners autonomy to practice clinical workflows repeatedly until second nature. By experiencing many touch points with a skill, physicians consolidate their procedural understanding for competence.

Hands-On Training Builds Confidence

Confidence is especially crucial for medical practitioners managing high-risk, high-stakes environments. Hands-on CME has been shown to significantly boost self-efficacy and comfort levels compared to traditional didactic programs. When learners can skillfully practice in a judgment-free zone and receive constructive feedback, their assurance grows.

Realistic clinical simulations recreate the pressures of medical emergencies so learners feel competent in managing crises calmly and correctly when real patients are at stake. The observational and leadership elements of hands-on CME further bolster confidence through coaching and public speaking experience. All of this translates to calmer, more empathetic patient care.

Hands-On Learning Promotes Problem-Solving

Rather than passively listening to lectures, hands-on methodologies challenge learners with complex problem-based scenarios. They must think on their feet to interpret various data modalities, weigh treatment options, troubleshoot complications, and communicate effectively as a team.

This forces learners to hone their diagnostic reasoning, decision-making under stress, and ability to manage unpredictable situations. Hands-on CME better equips doctors to consider novel solutions and think outside the box for complicated cases. Problem-solving also transfers more seamlessly to job roles with hands-on preparation.

Hands-On Training Boosts Professional Development

Beyond raising medical skills, hands-on CME aids career advancement in several ways:

Networking opportunities with expert preceptors and peers create a wider professional support system for collaborations, mentoring, or future job opportunities.

Presenting at seminars and teaching others cultivates a leadership presence valued by potential employers. These experiences also boost confidence.

Hand-on courses encourage specialization by exposing learners to various medical disciplines and technologies up close through rotations. This helps discover new specialty passions.

Performance-based evaluations provide formal documentation of hands-on abilities highly sought by credentialing boards and medical licensing to progress in the specialization.

When learners emerge with well-rounded expertise, it strengthens their resumes and career mobility enormously in today's healthcare landscape.

Bringing Hands-On Training to Low-Resource Settings

While hands-on CME is impactful, traditional programs require significant infrastructure that may not be feasible for resource-constrained areas. Pioneering organizations are tackling this through blended hands-on and tele-education models.

For example, some programs host simulation labs and training equipment in centralized urban locations. The surrounding rural clinicians access rotations, lessons, and preceptors through virtual classroom software from their hospitals with reliable broadband connectivity.

This blended model retains hands-on benefits while leveraging technology for wider accessibility and sustainability. Standardizing blended programs may help developing nations strengthen essential clinical competencies through high-quality hands-on methods more affordably. The future of CME may rely on such creatively blended hands-on solutions.

In Summary

While convenient, online CME alone does not replace the numerous cognitive and professional benefits of directly experiencing medical education hands-on. Whether through complex simulations, cadaver dissections, workshops, or clinical preceptorships, immersing learners in real-world scenarios results in better-retained skills they can apply confidently.

As technology evolves clinical education, blended hands-on models may make high-quality training scalable for rural areas and developing healthcare systems most needing strengthened competencies. Organizations pioneering such innovations can help energize the medical education revolution through customized hands-on methodology.

When done right, hands-on CME goes above and beyond simple skills-building to spark career passions, mentorship networks, and specialization opportunities advancing whole healthcare systems. Its long-term advantages warrant continued support, research, and creative solutions to expand access universally.
