    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Emergency Medicine Training

    Background:

    • Emergency medicine residency programs require structured foundational knowledge.
    • Effective orientation curricula are crucial for resident preparedness.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of a novel orientation curriculum for emergency medicine residents.
    • To assess knowledge acquisition and retention in emergency medicine.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of an orientation curriculum at the University of Cincinnati (UC).
    • Pre- and post-testing of UC residents against a control group at the Medical College of Pennsylvania (MCP).
    • One-year follow-up testing to assess long-term knowledge retention.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • The UC orientation curriculum resulted in significant post-test score improvements (p < 0.05).
  • The UC group significantly outperformed the MCP control group immediately post-orientation (p < 0.05).
  • UC residents scored higher on average one year later, though this difference was not statistically significant at the 0.05 level.

    • Conclusions:

    • The developed orientation curriculum effectively enhanced emergency medicine residents' knowledge.
    • The curriculum demonstrated a positive impact on immediate and short-term knowledge retention.
    • Further investigation may be warranted to confirm long-term knowledge retention benefits.
