Learning & teaching

Jarev Academy

An evolving collection of evidence-based learning notes, explanations, and educational resources in anesthesiology and research. I am starting with peer review of scientific manuscripts and hemostasis in cardiac anesthesia.

Articles and learning outlines available now; presentations, guideline appraisals, case discussions, and social content will be added as they are developed.

    Reading journal · Getting Things Done (15 Oct)

    What I'm reading: Getting Things Done by David Allen (2015 edition).

    I came across a used copy by chance while passing a bookshop. I was drawn to the possibility of developing a more efficient, less stressful approach to productivity—and to the opportunity to practise reading in English.

    I'm curious about how well the book's ideas hold up today. The author intended this edition to focus on enduring principles rather than tools tied to the technology of 2015, before today's widely accessible AI chatbots. I want to see how those principles might apply in a world with newer AI tools.

An initiative in development

Advancing anesthetic care in Colombia

Every patient should receive safe, appropriate anesthetic care, wherever they live.

I am developing an initiative to help advance equitable anesthetic and perioperative care in Colombia, with particular attention to patients in rural areas and communities outside the major cities.

My aim is to build an independent institution that investigates barriers to good care, makes the evidence accessible, and helps translate findings into improvements in practice and public policy. Supporting the professionals who deliver care is an essential part of that work.

Investigate

Study geographic inequalities and barriers involving staffing, equipment, referral pathways, working conditions, and access to continuing professional development.

Publish

Share findings through scientific publications, public reports, and policy briefs that make problems and possible solutions understandable.

Advocate and evaluate

Work with patients, regional clinicians, hospitals, professional societies, and authorities to develop recommendations and assess their effect on care.

Initial focus: continuing professional development

One proposed research priority is how Colombia supports and verifies continued professional competence. Questions include access to relevant education, protected learning time, costs, institutional responsibilities, and the role of continuing education or recertification requirements.

The aim is to establish what helps clinicians maintain current, safe practice and improves patient care. Recommendations should be informed by evidence and by the realities of practising outside major academic centres.

A partial directory for finding potential collaborators, with source dates and an optional historical REPS layer. Current service availability remains to be confirmed.

First steps: listen to regional clinicians and patient representatives, map existing efforts and requirements, and develop a feasible collaborative study of barriers to safe anesthetic care.

This is an early-stage personal initiative. Its name, governance, partnerships, and first projects remain to be developed, with Colombian leadership and regional participation at the centre.
