ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The COVID-19 pandemic displaced newly matched emergency medicine "pre-interns" from in-person educational experiences at the end of medical school. This called for novel remote teaching modalities.OBJECTIVE:
This study assesses effectiveness of a multisite Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) sub-competency-based curricular implementation on Slack during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.METHODS:
Emergency medicine residency programs were recruited via national organization listservs. Programs designated instructors to manage communications and teaching for the senior medical students who had matched to their programs (pre-interns) in spring/summer 2020. Pre- and post-surveys of trainees and instructors assessed perceived preparedness for residency, perceived effectiveness of common virtual educational modalities, and concern for the pandemic's effects on medical education utilizing a Likert scale of 1 (very unconcerned) to 5 (very concerned). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the t test.RESULTS:
Of 276 possible residency programs, 28 enrolled. Of 324 possible pre-interns, 297 (91.7%) completed pre-surveys in April/May and 249 (76.9%) completed post-surveys in June/July. The median weeks since performing a physical examination was 8 (IQR 7-12), since attending in-person didactics was 10 (IQR 8-15) and of rotation displacement was 4 (IQR 2-6). Perceived preparedness increased both overall and for 14 of 21 ACGME Milestone topics taught. Instructors reported higher mean concern (4.32, 95% CI 4.23-4.41) than pre-interns (2.88, 95% CI 2.74-3.02) regarding the pandemic's negative effects on medical education.CONCLUSIONS:
Pre-interns reported improvements in residency preparedness after participating in this ACGME sub-competency-based curriculum on Slack.
