Physicians use more resources learning about diseases than for diagnosis or treatment. Doctors prefer accessible, applicable, familiar, and time-effective learning resources.

Area of Science:

Medical Education Research
Information Science

Background:

Self-directed learning is crucial for physicians.
Understanding physician learning resource utilization is key to optimizing medical education.

Purpose of the Study:

To quantify the number of learning resources physicians utilize at different stages of self-directed learning.
To investigate patterns in resource selection for general medical problem-solving.

Main Methods:

A statewide random survey of physicians was conducted.
Data collected on resource use during various stages of problem-solving.

Main Results:

Faculty physicians used more resources for learning about diseases compared to diagnosis or therapeutics.

Related Experiment Videos

Resource use was similar for problem initiation and skill acquisition.

More resources were used for problem evaluation and skill acquisition than for gaining experience.

Physicians favored accessible, applicable, familiar, and time-effective resources.

Conclusions:

Findings inform theories of physician self-directed learning.
Implications for physicians-in-training, practicing physicians, and medical librarians were discussed.
