Key result
ECG PALM training markedly improves student and resident ECG interpretation accuracy and fluency vs no training.
Why the study?
Does an Electrocardiogram Perceptual and Adaptive Learning Module (ECG PALM) improve ECG interpretation accuracy and fluency in medical students and residents?
Does an Electrocardiogram Perceptual and Adaptive Learning Module (ECG PALM) improve ECG interpretation accuracy and fluency in medical students and residents?
Effect estimate: Effect size 0.9 to 3.2 (accuracy), 2.5 to 3.1 (fluency)
p-value: p=0.0045
ECG PALM training is an effective and durable supplemental tool for developing mastery in interpreting common ECG abnormalities among medical trainees.
Supports ECG PALM integration into trainee curricula; extends evidence for perceptual adaptive learning in diagnostic skill acquisition.

Krasne et al. (2020) studied ECG interpretation. Electrocardiogram Perceptual and Adaptive Learning Module (ECG PALM) vs. No prior ECG PALM training was evaluated on Accuracy and fluency in ECG interpretation (Effect size 0.9 to 3.2 (accuracy), 2.5 to 3.1 (fluency), p=0.0045). ECG PALM training significantly improved student and resident performance in ECG interpretation accuracy (effect size 0.9-3.2) and fluency (effect size 2.5-3.1) compared to no prior training.
