Streamlined modular teaching based on organ system in standardized residency training in emergency department
Objective To explore the effectiveness of streamlined modular teaching based on the organ system in standardized residency training in emergency medicine.Methods We enrolled residents on standardized training in the Second Clinical College of Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from July 2020 to July 2021.They were randomly divided in a 1∶1 ratio into conventional group(25 trainees,adopting a traditional standardized teaching method)and modular group(25 trainees,adopting streamlined modular teaching based on the organ system in addition to the method of the conventional group).At the end of training,all the trainees were assessed for academic performance and teaching-related indicators through an exam and questionnaire survey,and the teachers were surveyed for the degree of satisfaction with the teaching method.Data were analyzed by the t-test and chi-squared test using SPSS 21.0 software.Results The modular group had a significantly higher total final exam score than the conventional group[(93.52±0.49)vs.(84.44±0.57),t=12.02,P<0.001].Specifically,the modular group had significantly higher scores than the conventional group in emergency medicine theory,medical history taking and writing,physical examination and procedures,interpretation of examination results,and treatment and management(t=3.62,4.29,4.22,10.09,7.56,all P<0.001).The modular group was also superior to the conventional group in terms of teaching-related indicators(all P<0.05).All participating teachers were satisfied with the new teaching method.Conclusions The streamlined modular teaching method based on the organ system is beneficial for the standardized training of residents in emergency medicine,which is worthy of promotion.
