This study found that a dermatology E-learning programme significantly improved general practice residents' knowledge retention. Both residents and clinical teachers perceived E-learning as a feasible and valuable addition to traditional teaching methods.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Dermatology
  • E-learning

Background:

  • Assessing the effectiveness of E-learning in postgraduate medical education is crucial for modernizing training.
  • Understanding resident and clinical teacher perceptions of E-learning value is key to successful implementation.
  • Dermatology knowledge acquisition can benefit from innovative educational strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the knowledge retention of general practice (GP) residents using a dermatology E-learning programme.
  • To explore GP residents' and clinical teachers' perceptions of the learning value of this E-learning initiative.

Main Methods:

  • A mixed-method design was employed, collecting data concurrently.
  • General practice residents (n=21) were randomized into E-learning (n=12) or traditional teaching groups (n=9).

  • Knowledge was assessed via pre- and post-tests, with interviews conducted for qualitative insights.

    • Main Results:

    • The E-learning group demonstrated a statistically significant increase in knowledge test scores (p=0.045).
    • Internal consistency for knowledge tests was high (Alpha=0.78 pre-intervention, Alpha=0.90 post-intervention).
    • Qualitative data indicated E-learning aided learning and supported a blended approach with traditional methods.

    Conclusions:

    • A dermatology E-learning programme is an effective strategy for enhancing resident knowledge acquisition.
    • Both residents and clinical teachers found the E-learning programme feasible and beneficial for the learning process.
    • Further research is recommended to explore integrating E-learning alongside conventional teaching programs.
