, Evan T. Alicuben, Lauren Hawley, Maura Sullivan, Glenn T. Ault, Kenji InabaAbstract |
Background |
Physical distancing required by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has limited traditional in-person resident education. We present our novel online curriculum for incorporation into traditional surgical educational programs.
Methods |
The online curriculum utilized weekly sub-specialty themed faculty and resident created lectures, ABSITE practice questions, and weekly sub-specialty synchronized readings. Attendance, resident and faculty surveys, and completed ABSITE practice questions evaluated for curriculum success. Curriculum was adapted as COVID-19 clinical restructuring ended.
Results |
77% and 80% of clinical residents attended faculty lectures and resident led topic discussions as compared to 66% and 48% attending traditional in-person grand rounds and SCORE curriculum (both p > 0.05). 71.9% of residents and 16.6% of faculty reported improved resident participation while none reported decreased levels of participation (p < 0.001). 87.1% of residents and 66.7% of faculty preferred the online curriculum (p = 0.374). Completed ABSITE practice questions per resident increased from 21 to 31 questions/week (p = 0.541).
Conclusion |
Our online educational curriculum demonstrates success and can serve as a model for online restructuring of resident education.
