Does a computer-assisted tutorial on ECG interpretation improve feature recognition and determine competency in medical trainees?
A computer-based interactive tutorial on ECG interpretation effectively improves feature recognition and can be used to assess competency among medical trainees.
Burke et al. (2008) studied ECG interpretation competency (n=50). Computer-assisted tutorial on ECG interpretation was evaluated on Quality of questions, baseline knowledge, and improvement of grades in posttest. A computer-assisted tutorial on ECG interpretation improved feature recognition and distinguished between residents with outstanding grades and those needing remediation.
