Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

Area of Science:

Geriatric Medicine Education
Medical Board Certification Preparation

Background:

The American Geriatrics Society (AGS) Board Review Course aims to improve geriatric knowledge and increase the number of certified geriatricians.
This study assessed the feasibility and effectiveness of a hybrid (virtual and in-person) course format.
The course was designed to enhance confidence and support successful board certification in geriatrics.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the feasibility of offering the AGS Board Review Course in a hybrid format (virtual and in-person).
To assess the impact of course participation on participants' confidence levels.
To determine the course's effectiveness in supporting participants' achievement of board certification.

Main Methods:

A total of 233 participants (196 virtual, 37 in-person) completed pre- and post-course surveys between May 2021 and May 2022.
Participants included individuals preparing for initial certification or recertification via ABIM, ABFM, or Osteopathic Boards.
Subgroup analyses compared virtual vs. in-person delivery and internal medicine vs. family medicine backgrounds.

Main Results:

Post-course, 172 out of 233 participants (74%) achieved board certification, with pass rates comparable to national averages.
Participant confidence significantly improved post-course, though some discrepancies were noted in specific areas like geriatric syndromes.
Overall course satisfaction was high, particularly regarding content delivery and preparation for board examinations.

Conclusions:

The AGS Board Review Course, offered in a hybrid format during the annual meeting, is feasible and effective.
The course successfully enhances participant confidence and aids in achieving board certification.
Future research should focus on optimizing educational delivery and addressing identified knowledge gaps in geriatric medicine.
