Interactive, online surgical education modules were developed to enhance resident learning within work hour restrictions. This technology-enhanced approach provides flexible, accessible content for improved surgical training and teaching.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Training
  • Adult Learning Theory

Background:

  • Surgical residency programs face challenges with mandated 80-hour work weeks.
  • Need for effective, efficient resident education integrating basic science and clinical content.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To create interactive, technology-enhanced teaching modules for surgical residents.
  • To facilitate surgical education within the constraints of reduced work hours.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic evaluation of instructional tools and adult learning technologies.
  • Implementation of an online, multimedia-based surgical education environment using WebCT Vista and Macromedia Breeze.
  • Development of core subdiscipline teaching modules based on APDS curriculum and ACGME core competencies.
