The Brookside Associates maintain a number of medical and nursing education websites. Among them are these:
- While hands-on training by dedicated, knowledgeable instructors is undoubtedly the best way to learn and maintain nursing skills, such training is not always easily accessible, convenient, or even available. Distance learning, through the internet, is always available and can be very useful for both primary and refresher training.
- These mostly 5-minute videos will strengthen understanding of many basic procedures, and prepare students for performing these procedures.
- Operational Medicine is the healthcare provided in unconventional settings where important resources may be significantly restricted. These resources could include limited supplies, expertise, time, location, or climate extremes. This website includes text, textbooks, images, videos and manuals designed to assist those providing care in wilderness, emergency, military, disaster and travel settings.
- A complete simulation of a training course in introductory obstetrics and gynecology for medical, nursing, and allied health professional students.
- My collection of multimedia lectures, videos, images, podcasts and other teaching material, which I’ve used through the years.
- Women’s healthcare in military or isolated settings is uniquely challenging. While based on the same fundamental scientific and medical principles as healthcare in conventional settings, it may be modified, sometimes substantially modified, to account for limited resources, tactical circumstances, or environmental realities.
- This resource makes learning about women’s healthcare simple and efficient. Loaded with text and images, you can access it as a textbook, looking up important topics, or go directly to the “Learning Objectives” to quickly get up to speed.
- Dr. Hughey’s ongoing engagement with a forest. This has little to do with medicine and a great deal to do with life balance and perspective. Join him in his journey. Listen to the birds, and the wind rustling through the trees.
2LT Thomas E. Cartmell, USAAF: A Young Man Went Off to War
- Dr. Hughey’s exploration of his Uncle Tom Cartmell, a fighter pilot who was shot down and killed in the last days of WWII. During his 2 years in the Army, Tom wrote hundreds of letters to his parents, his sister, and his wife. These are transcribed and annotated with explanations of the times, family photographs, sounds and contemporary videos. His wartime experience is presented, in his own voice.
