CDN STBBI Guidelines vs ECE Tracker

Note: This application is intended for use by HEALTH PROFESSIONALS, and not the general public. For general information on sexually transmitted infections (STIs), refer to https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases.html This application provides Canadian health professionals with up-to-date recommendations for the screening, diagnosis, management, and treatment of STIs, including recommendations for antibiotic-resistant gonorrhea, in a convenient, concise, and easy to use format.
 It has been developed from the 2010 version of the Canadian Guidelines on Sexually Transmitted Infections (Guidelines) (http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/std-mts/sti-its/index-eng.php) and revised content from 2013 to 2016. These updates reflect emerging issues/trends affecting the management of STIs in Canada. Up-to-date information from other complementary resources has also been incorporated, including key recommendations from the HIV Screening and Testing Guide (2012) and the Management of Hepatitis B - Quick Reference (2013).
 The content is reflective of the most current evidence for the management of uncomplicated STIs in adults and youth only. It does not contain information for the management of STIs in pregnant women, children, neonates or complicated infections. 
 This application is intended to provide information to public health and clinical professionals and does not supersede any provincial/territorial legislative, regulatory, policy and practice requirements or professional guidelines that govern the practice of health professionals in their respective jurisdictions, whose recommendations may differ due to local epidemiology or context.

The Essential Clinical Experiences Tracker (ECE Tracker) is used to monitor the core experiences that must be completed by every clerk during each clerkship rotation in the McMaster Undergraduate MD Program. It helps the MD Program ensure that we are providing a good breadth of clinical experiences for each trainee throughout the clerkship. Each experience listed in the Tracker has been assigned a specific role and patient type as defined by each clerkship. It is possible for a single experience to be met in more than one clerkship, but if the role or patient type requirements differ between clerkships, the experience may have to be completed again in subsequent clerkships. Experiences can be classified into three major categories: primary presentations, procedures and professional competencies. The list of presentations can be filtered by these categories. Experiences can be logged on the fly, or batch entered prior to the mid-rotation or end-of-rotation deadlines. We encourage you to log them at the time, as some rotations and supervisors like to review the experiences for formative educational conversations. Additional features include the ability to ‘quick add’ an experience, or edit the details of an encounter. Some rotations may also include additional probing questions or resources related to their encounters. Encounters can be entered via the native app, or through the medportal curriculum management system’s web interface. You can also check your ECE completion statistics through the app or medportal. If you are having trouble seeing all of the required clinical experiences for a clerkship rotation, please check in with your supervisor or site coordinator, to ensure that they help you to find suitable clinical learning opportunities to fulfill your objectives.
