A Novel Microlearning Asynchronous Curriculum to Improve Internal Medicine Trainees' Confidence and Skill in Interpreting ECGs.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Skills in electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation are critical in clinical decision making but remain poor among Internal Medicine residents. There remains no standardized method for teaching ECG interpretation.

Methods

This study aimed to leverage the benefits of microlearning by assessing an asynchronous microlearning ECG curriculum for Internal Medicine residents at a single academic residency program between September 2023 and June 2024. The ECG curriculum was comprised of 30 mandatory weekly ECGs which included a clinical vignette, a 12-lead ECG, and a single multiple-choice or free response question posted on Microsoft Teams. Residents were required to submit interpretations within 1 week, after which the answer, a short description of ECG findings, and clini
