Hodges' Model: Welcome to the QUAD: Narketpally syndrome: A different approach to medical education and research

Hodges' model is a conceptual framework to support reflection and critical thinking. Situated, the model can help integrate all disciplines (academic and professional). Amid news items, are posts that illustrate the scope and application of the model. A bibliography and A4 template are provided in the sidebar. Welcome to the QUAD ...

hi friends,

in an unknown syndrome, another way to deal with the patient, to learn from the patient, to develop a partnership with the patient, caring while waiting for the cure,

This paper illustrates a global patient-centered learning ecosystem, anchored in Narketpally, that adopts a syndromic approach to medical education and research. Rooted in the etymological origins of 'syndrome' ("together we flow"), this approach reframes medical research as a collective, contextual response to individual patient needs.

Methods: The structure of the paper is intentionally modeled as a team-based learning exercise, grounded in our prior Web 2.0-based cognitive tools: CBBLE (Case-Based Blended Learning Ecosystem) https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6163835/ and PaJR (Patient Journey Record) https://pajr.in/. These are framed against the conceptual scaffolding provided by three key publications: a framework by Sturmberg et al. and two contrasting commentaries by Greenhalgh and Ioannidis.

Results: Through our ongoing CBBLE-PaJR workflow, thematic learning outcomes emerged in response to these frameworks. Sturmberg's stratified realism helped us recognize how individual patient connections, recorded in our daily practice and online learning portfolios, can drive both contextual learning and meaningful changes in patient outcomes. Greenhalgh's commentary inspired our conceptualization of a 'wildebeest river crossing value model,' contrasting population-based efficiency with individual-centered compassion. Ioannidis's critique of methodological rigor highlighted the potential for expanding low-resource, high-impact research through patient-centered designs, particularly in phases 1 and 4 of the clinical trial hierarchy.
