The study aims to enhance the ECG interpretation skills of first-year internal medicine residents through a structured curriculum.
Developed a resident-led ECG curriculum integrated into the internal medicine residency program at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
Implemented self-directed learning materials and a 45-minute flipped classroom session on five arrhythmias.
Conducted pre-tests and post-tests to measure improvement, using paired t-tests for statistical analysis.
Out of 34 learners who completed pre- and post-tests, the average improvement in scores was 19.1%, from 68.5% to 87.6% (95% CI 10.9 - 27.4%, p < 0.0001).
Conducted 21 flipped classroom sessions between August 2022 and December 2024, focusing on arrhythmias.
Post-tests were completed a median of 3 days after the classroom session.
