Impact of an Interactive, Case-Based Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition Curriculum on General Pediatric Resident Competency and Knowledge Retention.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Nutrition management is essential for disease prevention and improvement of clinical outcomes in children. However, pediatric trainees routinely acknowledge knowledge gaps in nutrition management. We designed and implemented an interactive, case-based module for pediatric residents to facilitate knowledge acquisition and retention of high-yield pediatric gastroenterology and nutrition topics.

Methods

Curriculum development followed the Kern model. A formal needs assessment was conducted among current pediatric residents to identify priority topics that were aligned with the American Board of Pediatrics Exam Content Outline. Through an iterative review process, eight 15-minute case-based modules were created with specific educational objectives and delivered week
