This study found that a web-based learning program effectively improved residents' knowledge of cervical cancer screening and abnormal Pap smear management. The program was well-received and considered useful by participants.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Gynecologic Oncology
  • Digital Health

Background:

  • Current guidelines for cervical cancer screening, classification, and management of abnormal Pap smears are essential for Obstetrics and Gynecology (OB/GYN) residents.
  • Effective and accessible educational tools are needed to ensure residents master these critical clinical skills.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility, utility, and resident acceptance of an interactive, web-based computer learning program.
  • To assess the program's effectiveness in teaching current recommendations for cervical cancer screening and abnormal Pap smear management.

Main Methods:

  • A pretest/posttest design was used to evaluate an interactive curriculum for 35 OB/GYN residents.
  • The web-based program included didactic and case-based sections with virtual patient management, utilizing cytologic, histologic, and colposcopic images.

Published on: August 1, 2019

  • Mastery was defined as 82% correct answers on the posttest.

    • Main Results:

    • 89% of residents completed the curriculum, with significant improvement in posttest scores compared to pretest scores (p = 0.04).
    • No resident achieved mastery on the pretest, while 15 residents demonstrated mastery on the posttest.
    • Residents found the program useful, covering all learning objectives, and recommended it for others.

    Conclusions:

    • The web-based learning program is a feasible and well-accepted method for educating residents on cervical cancer screening and management.
    • The program effectively enhanced resident knowledge and performance in managing abnormal Pap smears.
    • Interactive, digital learning platforms can successfully supplement traditional medical education in OB/GYN.
