ENThe student
On their first day in a clinic they already know the tool. The initial case history, the assessment record and the recommendations are not new ground but work they have already done.
The first system of its kind rolled out at a university
Students at Gdańska Akademia Medyczna Nauk Stosowanych (Gdańsk Medical Academy of Applied Sciences, formerly Wyższa Szkoła Zdrowia w Gdańsku) learn on the tool that clinics use, not on a simulation put together for class. From their first assessment they work on the same patient record they will take into professional practice.
Trichology and cosmetology
Separate university environment
No installation in the computer lab
01 / Why
Three sides of the same decision
The university
A point of difference in the curriculum that cannot be copied with a slide. Practical classes are run on a real system, not on a worksheet exercise.
The profession
The next generation of trichologists enters the profession already in the habit of keeping records from the first visit, instead of picking it up after years of working on paper and on a phone.
02 / How it works
Classes are run in a separate environment within the system
- University environment
- The university works at its own address in the system, separate from clinic accounts. The features are the same ones the student will use later at work.
- No installation in the computer lab
- The system runs in a browser on Windows, macOS and Linux. The computer lab needs no preparation beyond an internet connection.
- Trichoscopy camera in class
- The image from the camera goes straight into the assessment record, so the trichoscopy exercise and the documentation exercise are one task rather than two.
- A case history that matches practice
- The standard initial case history was drawn up with practising trichologists and follows the guidelines of Polskie Stowarzyszenie Trychologiczne (PST, the Polish Trichological Association) - the student learns the questions that really do come up in a clinic.
03 / In their own words
Voices from the Academy
04 / Training providers
EDU is not only for universities
PLMED Professional is a training provider whose participants we have taken through online demonstrations of the system. The same material a student covers in class can be shown remotely - with no computer lab to prepare and nothing for participants to install.
05 / Rollout
We set the scope around your programme, not the other way round
The number of accounts, how long access lasts, the way classes are run and the level of support for teaching staff all follow from a given university’s curriculum. We do not have a single teaching package, because courses differ in the number of practical hours and in the point at which a student first sits down at a trichoscope.
The shortest route is a conversation with the person who runs the module and a decision on the semester in which the system enters the timetable. On your side, the rollout comes down to sending us a list of participants.
