Sustaining resident education efforts during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic required innovative, virtual didactic programs. This article reviews the authors' collaborative experience with launching the Educational Multi-institutional Program for Instructing REsidents (EMPIRE) lecture series in the New York Section of the American Urological Association.
From April 13, 2020 to May 29, 2020, there were 68 EMPIRE lectures delivered via Zoom videoconferencing that were based on a variety of topics highlighted in the AUA Core Curriculum. Tracking tools from Zoom, Google Analytics from the New York Section website and YouTube Analytics were used to assess participant access of didactic materials. Additionally, a survey regarding the content and impact of the series was distributed and advertised to those who had attended the lecture series.
The average number of participants was 159±68 per lecture (range 77 to 334) and the recordings received 9,086 total video views (range 42 to 443 views per video) at the time of survey completion. The survey received 170 total responses. The majority of speakers (77%) and participants (58%) were from the New York Section. Half of the participants were residents (50%) and others were attending urologists (35%), fellows (5%), medical students (9%), and advanced practice providers (1%). Survey respondents reported consistently high ratings of the EMPIRE series. Overall, 99% of respondents said that they would recommend the EMPIRE series to a colleague and 98% requested that the series continue after COVID-19 abates.
The EMPIRE didactic series was well received, with the majority of participants positively endorsing its value. Further initiatives pertaining to virtual education for urology trainees should continue to be explored.
在新冠疫情高峰期维持住院医师教育工作需要创新的虚拟教学项目。本文回顾了作者在美国泌尿外科学会纽约分会推出住院医师教育多机构项目（EMPIRE）讲座系列的合作经验。
2020年4月13日至2020年5月29日，通过Zoom视频会议进行了68场EMPIRE讲座，讲座内容基于美国泌尿外科学会核心课程中突出的各种主题。使用Zoom的跟踪工具、纽约分会网站的谷歌分析和YouTube分析来评估参与者对教学材料的访问情况。此外，还向参加过该讲座系列的人员分发并宣传了一份关于该系列内容和影响的调查问卷。
每场讲座的平均参与者人数为159±68人（范围为77至334人），在调查完成时，这些讲座的录像总视频观看次数为9086次（每个视频的观看次数范围为42至443次）。该调查问卷共收到170份回复。大多数演讲者（77%）和参与者（58%）来自纽约分会。一半的参与者是住院医师（50%），其他参与者包括在职泌尿科医生（35%）、研究员（5%）、医学生（9%）和高级执业提供者（1%）。调查受访者对EMPIRE系列的评价一直很高。总体而言，99%的受访者表示他们会向同事推荐EMPIRE系列，98%的受访者要求在新冠疫情缓解后该系列继续。
EMPIRE教学系列受到了好评，大多数参与者积极认可其价值。应继续探索与泌尿外科住院医师虚拟教育相关的进一步举措。
