What are the effective methods of ECG teaching for medical students?
Various methods of ECG teaching, including peer teaching, self-directed learning, and web-based learning, are utilized for medical students, highlighting the need for future studies on long-term knowledge retention.
. criteria. The screening, data extraction, and quality appraisal processes were duplicated independently. In case of disagreements, consultation with a third author was put forth. In total, 861 citations were found in the databases. After screening abstracts and full texts, 23 studies were deemed eligible. The majority of the studies were of good quality. Peer teaching (7 studies), self-directed learning (6 studies), web-based learning (10 studies), and various assessment modalities (3 studies) comprised the key themes of the studies. Various methods of ECG teaching were encountered in the reviewed studies. Future studies in ECG training should focus on novel and creative teaching methods, the extent to which self-directed learning can be effective, the utility of peer teaching, and the implications of computer-assisted ECG interpretation (e.g., artificial intelligence) for medical students. Long-term knowledge retention assessment studies based on different approaches integrated with clinical outcomes could be beneficial in determining the most efficient modalities.
Ardekani et al. (Wed,) conducted a systematic review in ECG teaching to medical students (n=23). ECG teaching methods was evaluated. A systematic review of 23 studies on ECG teaching to medical students identified peer teaching (7 studies), self-directed learning (6 studies), and web-based learning (10 studies) as key themes.
