RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic reducing medical student presence on clinical services and in classrooms, academic institutions are utilizing a virtual format to continue medical student education. We describe a successful initial experience implementing a virtual elective in interventional radiology (IR) and provide the course framework, student feedback, and potential improvements. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A 2-week virtual IR elective curriculum was created utilizing a combination of synchronous and asynchronous learning and the "flipped" classroom educational model. Students virtually participated in daily IR resident education conferences, resident-led case review sessions, and dedicated lectures. Asynchronous prelearning material consisted of text and video correlating to lecture topics. Anonymous precourse and postcourse surveys were sent to all participating students (n = 10). RESULTS: Ten students (100%) completed precourse and seven (70%) completed postcourse surveys. Enrolled students were considering residencies in surgery (50%), internal medicine (40%), interventional radiology (30%), and/or diagnostic radiology (30%). Students' understanding of what IRs do and the procedures they perform (p < 0.001), when to consult IR for assistance in patient management (p = 0.005), and the number of IR procedures students could recall (p = 0.015) improved after the course. Case-review sessions and virtual lectures ranked as having the highest education value. Students recommended additional small-group case workshops. CONCLUSION: This successful virtual IR elective provides a framework for others to continue IR medical student education during the pandemic and grow the specialty's presence within an increasingly virtual medical school curriculum. The described model may be modified to improve IR education beyond the COVID-19 era.
背景与目的:为了应对 COVID-19 大流行导致医学生减少在临床服务和课堂上的出现,学术机构正在利用虚拟形式继续医学生教育。我们描述了成功实施介入放射学(IR)虚拟选修课程的初步经验,并提供了课程框架、学生反馈和潜在的改进。
材料与方法:利用同步和异步学习以及“翻转课堂”教育模式创建了为期 2 周的虚拟 IR 选修课程。学生可以远程参与每日 IR 住院医师教育会议、住院医师主导的病例复习会议和专门的讲座。异步预学习材料包括与讲座主题相关的文本和视频。向所有参与的学生(n=10)发送匿名预课后和课后调查。
结果:10 名学生(100%)完成了预课后调查,7 名学生(70%)完成了课后调查。注册学生考虑的 residency 包括外科(50%)、内科(40%)、介入放射学(30%)和/或诊断放射学(30%)。学生对 IR 所做的工作和他们所进行的程序的理解(p<0.001)、何时咨询 IR 以帮助管理患者(p=0.005)以及学生能够回忆起的 IR 程序数量(p=0.015)在课程后有所提高。病例复习会议和虚拟讲座被认为具有最高的教育价值。学生建议增加小组病例研讨会。
结论:这个成功的虚拟 IR 选修课程为在大流行期间继续 IR 医学生教育并在日益虚拟的医学院课程中扩大该专业的影响力提供了框架。描述的模型可以进行修改,以在 COVID-19 时代之后提高 IR 教育。
