Abstract
BackgroundIn the rapidly changing realm of medical education, Competency-Based Medical Education is emerging as a crucial framework to ensure residents acquire essential competencies efficiently. The advent of mobile-based platforms is seen as a pivotal shift from traditional educational methods, offering more dynamic and accessible learning options. This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of mobile-based apps in emergency residency programs compared with the traditional paper- and web-based formats. Specifically, it focuses on analyzing their roles in facilitating immediate feedback, tracking educational progress, and personalizing the learning journey to meet the unique needs of each resident.
ObjectiveThis study aimed to compare mobile-based emergency residency training programs with paper- and web-based (programs regarding competency-based medical education core elements.
MethodsA cross-sectional web-based survey (Nov 2022-Jan 2023) across 23 Taiwanese emergency residency sites used stratified random sampling, yielding 74 valid responses (49 educators, 16 residents, and 9 Residency Review Committee hosts). Data were analyzed using Mann-Whitney Ut
ResultsMB programs (n=14) had fewer missed assessments (PPPP
ConclusionsIn our nationwide pilot study, we observed that the mobile-based interface significantly enhances emergency residency training. It accomplishes this by providing rapid, customized updates, thereby increasing satisfaction and autonomous motivation among participants. This method is markedly different from traditional paper- or web-based approaches, which tend to be slower and less responsive. This difference is particularly evident in settings with limited resources. The mobile-based interface is a crucial tool in modernizing training, as it improves efficiency, boosts engagement, and facilitates collaboration. It plays an essential role in advancing Competency-Based Medical Education, especially concerning tailored learning experiences. |
