Medical educators, residents and administrators have increasing access to a large quantity of electronic resources. This content can augment and improve our teaching methods but can be difficult to consolidate and present. A multitude of electronic learning management systems are available to help organize and serve this content though never with small residency programs as the target userbase. As our residency program in Ophthalmology looked to consolidate our electronic resources and update our education methods, we evaluated and built an electronic learning management platform.
Faculty were interviewed to determine features they would find useful in curriculum management system and then various systems were investigated for features, cost and ease of use.
Our solution has been both cost-effective and successful. Resident satisfaction is high and faculty utilization has been increasing. We present many customizations that increased success. Consideration of the specific needs of a program is paramount to choosing a cost effective solution that will be well received.
医学教育工作者、住院医师和管理人员越来越容易获取大量电子资源。这些内容可以增强和改进我们的教学方法，但可能难以整合和呈现。有许多电子学习管理系统可用于帮助组织和提供这些内容，不过从未以小型住院医师培训项目作为目标用户群体。当我们的眼科住院医师培训项目寻求整合我们的电子资源并更新我们的教育方法时，我们评估并构建了一个电子学习管理平台。
我们采访了教员，以确定他们在课程管理系统中认为有用的功能，然后对各种系统的功能、成本和易用性进行了调查。
我们的解决方案既经济有效又成功。住院医师满意度很高，教员的使用率也在不断提高。我们展示了许多提高成功率的定制功能。考虑项目的特定需求对于选择一个会受到广泛欢迎的经济有效解决方案至关重要。
