Flipping the Physical Examination: Web-Based Instruction and Live Assessment of Bedside Technique
Dustyn E Williams1, John W Thornton2
1Department of Internal Medicine, Baton Rouge General Medical Center, Baton Rouge, LA.
Background:
The skill of physicians teaching the physical examination skill has decreased, with newer faculty underperforming compared to their seniors. Improved methods of instruction with an emphasis on physical examinations are necessary to both improve the quality of medical education and alleviate the teaching burden of faculty physicians.
Methods:
We developed a curriculum that combines web-based instruction with real-life practice and features individualized feedback.
Results:
This innovative medical education model should allow the physical examination to be taught and assessed in an effective manner. The model is under study at Baton Rouge General Medical Center.
Conclusion:
Our goals are to limit faculty burden, maximize student involvement as learners and evaluators, and effectively develop students' critical skills in performing bedside assessments.
