Creating an asynchronous curriculum for Emergency Medicine residents is manageable and effective. This approach, utilizing free open access medical education (FOAMEd), achieved high completion rates, enhancing resident education outside traditional settings.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Emergency Medicine Training
Background:
- Asynchronous learning is crucial for Emergency Medicine (EM) resident curricula due to challenges in traditional didactic settings.
- Limited guidance exists for developing asynchronous educational programs.
Purpose of the Study:
- To create a practical asynchronous curriculum for EM residents with minimal resources.
- To leverage Free Open Access Medical Education (FOAMEd) resources.
Main Methods:
- Developed a module-based asynchronous curriculum guided by Council of Emergency Medicine Residency Directors (CORD) recommendations.
- Utilized a chief resident and a core faculty member for curriculum development.
- Focused on incorporating FOAMEd content.
Main Results:
- Successfully implemented the asynchronous curriculum for two years.
- Achieved a 77.0% assignment completion rate in year one and 88.6% in year two.
- Demonstrated ongoing program success.
Conclusions:
- Asynchronous curriculum development and implementation are feasible for EM residency programs.
- The curriculum is well-received by residents, indicated by high completion rates.
