The COVID-19 pandemic reshaped the delivery of medical education, necessitating novel modes of instruction to facilitate distance learning. Online medical education resources provide opportunities for self-directed and asynchronous learning. GISIM is a free, open access educational website dedicated to gastroenterology (GI)/hepatology, which teaches pathophysiology and disease management, and supports clinical reasoning skill development through interactive, dynamic, case presentation-based journeys.
(1) To describe the creation of a mobile-optimized, GI/hepatology educational resource for medical trainees, and (2) to report on trainee feedback on completing and authoring GISIM cases.
GISIM was created on WordPress and modeled after NephSIM, an e-learning platform dedicated to Nephrology. Content was developed by internal medicine residents and GI/hepatology fellows and attendings. Cases are interactive, prompting users to select differential diagnoses and management plans, with immediate feedback provided on response. Self-reported user demographics and website feedback were collected with an embedded survey. A separate survey evaluated case authors' experiences.
GISIM launched in February 2021 and received 12,184 website views and 2003 unique visitors between February 1 2021 and February 28 2022. New cases are disseminated bimonthly. Sixty-one user surveys were collected, with a majority completed by fellows (38%) and residents (26%). All users found the website easy to use and most reported enhanced understanding of case topic areas. Nine author surveys were collected. Authors reported significant learning on chosen topics and improved clinical knowledge through their participation.
We developed a novel GI/hepatology case-based resource that enables distance learning and was perceived as a valuable educational tool by users and authors.
COVID-19 大流行改变了医学教育的授课方式，需要采用新的教学模式来促进远程学习。在线医学教育资源为自主学习和异步学习提供了机会。GISIM 是一个免费的、开放获取的教育网站，致力于胃肠病学（GI）/肝脏病学，通过互动式、动态的基于病例展示的旅程，教授病理生理学和疾病管理，并支持临床推理技能的发展。
（1）描述为医学受训者创建一个针对移动设备优化的、GI/肝脏病学教育资源，（2）报告受训者对完成和撰写 GISIM 病例的反馈。
GISIM 是在 WordPress 上创建的，其设计灵感来自于专门针对肾脏病学的电子学习平台 NephSIM。内容由内科住院医师和胃肠病学/肝脏病学住院医师和主治医生开发。病例是互动式的，提示用户选择鉴别诊断和管理计划，并对回答提供即时反馈。使用嵌入式调查收集自我报告的用户人口统计数据和网站反馈。另一个单独的调查评估了案例作者的经验。
GISIM 于 2021 年 2 月推出，在 2021 年 2 月 1 日至 2022 年 2 月 28 日期间，网站获得了 12,184 次浏览量和 2,003 次独立访问者。新病例每两个月发布一次。共收集了 61 份用户调查，其中大多数由研究员（38%）和住院医师（26%）完成。所有用户都认为该网站易于使用，大多数用户表示他们对病例主题领域的理解有所提高。共收集了 9 份作者调查。作者报告称，他们在所选主题上有了显著的学习，并通过参与提高了临床知识。
我们开发了一种新的基于 GI/肝脏病学病例的资源，使远程学习成为可能，并且受到了用户和作者的认可，被认为是一种有价值的教育工具。
