Traditional face-to-face learning opportunities for Australian GP registrars are complemented by the use of e-resources. The current study aimed to investigate GP trainees' use of e-resources and their preferences for sourcing clinical information to inform the prospective direction and design of e-resources for the GP education and training sector. One-hundred and nineteen registrars completed a custom online survey measuring the type and frequency of use of e-resources, and preferences for their design and content. Results indicated that for the majority of registrars e-resources were the first preference for obtaining clinical information (77.3%). The most frequently used e-resources included non-medical search engines, medical journals and prescribing software. Factors relevant to registrars' selection and use of e-resources included the accuracy and comprehensiveness of the information. It is concluded that the use of e-resources provides a valuable supplement to registrars' learning and teaching. However, issues of quality and consistency raise some concerns regarding the use of e-resources for obtaining clinical information.
澳大利亚全科医生培训生的传统面对面学习机会因电子资源的使用而得到补充。本研究旨在调查全科医生培训生对电子资源的使用情况以及他们获取临床信息的偏好，以为全科医生教育和培训领域电子资源的未来发展方向及设计提供参考。119名培训生完成了一项定制的在线调查，该调查衡量了电子资源的使用类型和频率，以及对其设计和内容的偏好。结果表明，对于大多数培训生来说，电子资源是获取临床信息的首选（77.3%）。最常用的电子资源包括非医学搜索引擎、医学期刊和处方软件。与培训生选择和使用电子资源相关的因素包括信息的准确性和全面性。研究得出结论，电子资源的使用为培训生的学习和教学提供了有价值的补充。然而，质量和一致性问题引发了对使用电子资源获取临床信息的一些担忧。
