Flexible e-learning video approach to improve fundus examination skills for medical students: a mixed-methods study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Training for the fundus examination using traditional teaching is challenging, resulting in low generalist physicians' confidence in performing the funduscopic examination. There is growing evidence suggesting a flexible e-learning video approach's value in teaching physical examination procedures. However, whether the flexible e-learning video approach is superior to the traditional, face-to-face (F2F) lecture-based teaching for the funduscopic exam and the cognitive processes supporting its effectiveness has not yet been determined.

Methods

We conducted a sequential explanatory mixed-method study to compare the flexible e-learning video approach's effectiveness versus the F2F lecture-based approach for teaching the funduscopic exam to medical students at Chiba U
