A new platform to educate and share physicians’ expertise. MedTandem has been proposed in France by Elodie Baer and Lucie Beylacq, two anesthetists from Bordeaux, and it allows doctors to meet in order to accelerate teaching and learning traditional methods, without being obliged to join educational events. The initiative, exposed for the first time in a congress in Paris at the end of September 2016, comes from the idea that doctors are not stimulated anymore by outdated teaching techniques. On the other hand, highly specialized physicians do not know how to transfer their knowledge to their colleagues. The platform represents the right compromise for both to exchange their know-how: the first experiment will be in November, an anesthetist from Paris will go to a clinic in Bordeaux to see an eye anesthesia under echography. Now Medtandem is limited to anesthesia, emergency medicine and orthopedics, but it counts to embrace other medicine branches by the beginning of 2017.
