The NetWoRM Project developed an occupational medicine e-learning tool, enhancing clinical knowledge. Medical students found the case-based modules engaging and valuable, preferring them over traditional seminars.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Occupational Medicine
  • Digital Health

Background:

  • Traditional medical education often lacks practical, case-based occupational medicine scenarios.
  • There is a need for accessible, engaging e-learning tools to improve clinical knowledge in occupational medicine.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop, evaluate, and implement a case-based e-learning tool for occupational medicine.
  • To enhance medical students' knowledge of clinical aspects within occupational medicine.
  • To assess the usability and effectiveness of the e-learning tool through user evaluation.

Main Methods:

  • Development of 19 validated, case-based e-learning modules.
  • User evaluation conducted at three German Medical Schools with 377 participating medical students.

  • Analysis of student engagement, time spent on cases, and knowledge acquisition through online questionnaires.

    • Main Results:

    • A significant majority of students (68%) completed the evaluation, spending 25-43 minutes per case.
    • Students rated the e-learning cases highly for engagement and importance, requesting more such modules.
    • Correct answer rates ranged from 47-71%, indicating a high level of knowledge required.
    • Cases on occupational health issues like needle stick injuries received the highest ratings.

    Conclusions:

    • Case-based e-learning is an effective and well-received supplement to traditional medical education in occupational medicine.
    • The NetWoRM e-learning tool demonstrates potential for international adoption due to positive user feedback and high interest.
    • Further integration of e-learning cases can improve occupational medicine training and knowledge retention among medical students.
