Manage episode 424814371 series 2520369
In this episode, How Jonas Salk Used the Plan, Do, Study, Act (PDSA) Cycle to Cure Polio, I evaluate the actions Jonas Salk took to develop the world-changing polio vaccine and how they parallel and exemplify the Plan Do Study Act or "PDSA" cycle used in scientific and medical studies. Further, I share how we can each implement PDSA in personal and professional areas of our lives.
Salk and PDSA:
- How he planned:
- Altered his initial influenza vaccine techniques to address polio with the killed virus vaccine concept
- How he did:
- Salk wrote numerous papers that raised awareness and funds for polio vaccine development
- How he studied:
- Reviewed and studied the reaction of the vaccine in over a million-volunteer test subjects
- How he acted
- He stuck with his concepts, reduced polio instances by ~80%, and expanded polio vaccination to over 90 countries
Stay safe, consider the PDSA cycle to improve areas of your personal and professional life, and Godspeed,
Kevin
