POSTER Enhancing the Proficiency of Residents in Otitis Media
(ePROM): Authors: PH Kaleida, MD1,2, DL Ploof, EdD1, N Shaikh, MD1,2, DK Colborn, BS1, DH Kearney, RN, CCRC1, J Chianese, MD1,2 and A Hoberman, MD1,2. 1Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, and 2University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine Objective: To evaluate a new, web-based curriculum to improve otoscopic diagnostic accuracy in otitis media. Methods: Residents at 6 institutions used ePROM – 6 interactive, multi-modal, self-study modules with photographs, videos, clinical tips and practice sessions. We com-pared resident performance on pre- and post-module quizzes and reviewed feedback data. Results: Table. Resident performance on ePROM pre- vs. post-module quizzes:
Post-module quiz scores were significantly higher than pre-module quiz scores for all modules. On average, 81% agreed that the modules matched their learning level; 79% found them engaging; 70% agreed that they were a good use of their time; and 77% indicated they will apply the information. Conclusions: ePROM is an effective way to teach about otitis media and has direct applicability to other learners, such as medical students. |
