Rapid Shift

Abstract Background With the strike of Covid-19, an unprecedented rapid shift to remote learning happened worldwide with a paradigm shift to online learning from an institutional adjuvant luxury package and learner choice into a forced solo choice. This raises the question of quality assurance. While some groups have already established standards for online courses, teaching and programs yet very little information is included on methodology of their development and very little emphasis is placed on the online learning experience. Nevertheless, no work has been done specifically for medical education institutions. Aim To develop a set of descriptors for best practice in online learning in medical education utilizing existing expertise and needs. Methods This work utilizes a qualitative multistage approach to identify the descriptors of best practice in online learning starting with a question guided focus group, thematic analysis, Delphi technique and an expert consensus session done simultaneously for triangulation. This was done involving 32 institution in 19 countries. Results This materialized into the development of a set of standards, indicators, and development of a checklist for each standard area. The standard areas identified were organizational capacity, educational effectiveness, and human resources each of which listed a number of standards. Expert consensus sessions identified the need for qualification of data and thus the development of indicators for best practice. Conclusion Standards are needed for online learning experience and their development and redesign is situational and needs to be enhanced methodologically in axes that are pertaining to the needs of the education community. Taking such axes into consideration by educators and institutions will lead to planning and implementing successful online learning activities, while taking them into consideration by the evaluators will help them conduct comprehensive audits and provide stakeholders with highly informative evaluation reports.

Abstract Background Despite therapeutic advances, treatment-experienced HIV patients can present a clinical challenge, even to experienced care providers. Table. Assessment of Educational Effectiveness Methods This study assessed the ability of digital education to improve HIV/ID specialists’ ability to develop tailored strategies for treatment-experienced patients. A CME/ABIM MOC/CE-certified, case-based, educational program was developed. Modeled after the interactive grand rounds approach, a “test then teach” strategy with multiple choice questions was used to elicit cognitive dissonance. Evidence-based feedback was provided following each response. Educational effectiveness was assessed with a repeated-pairs pre-/post-assessment study design; each individual served as his/her own control. A chi-square test assessed changes pre- to post-assessment. P values < 0.05 are statistically significant. Effect sizes were evaluated using Cramer’s V (< 0.05 modest; 0.06-0.15 noticeable effect; 0.16-0.26 considerable effect; > 0.26 extensive effect). The activity launched on a website dedicated to continuous professional development on 09/12/19. Data for this matched-learner analysis were collected through 11/06/19. Results To date, 14,181 HCPs (3128 physicians; 9518 nurses/NPs; 333 PAs; 172 pharmacists) have participated in the activity. Data from the subset of HIV/ID specialists (n=110) who answered all pre-/post-assessment questions during the initial study period were analyzed. Following activity participation, significant improvements were observed in the proportion of HIV/ID specialists who answered all assessment questions correctly (15% pre vs 81% post; P < .0001; V=.356). Improvements were also observed in several specific areas of assessment (Table). Additionally, 44% of HIV/ID specialists indicated they planned to modify their treatment approach for treatment experience patients because of participating in the education.Of note, this assessment also identified topics in which HIV/ID had a high degree of baseline knowledge. Conclusion Participation in this online, interactive, case-based, program significantly improved HIV/ID specialists’ ability to develop individualized care strategies for patients who are treatment experienced.

Disaster Education

The purpose of this study is to examine the factors of disaster experience that impact the effectiveness of disaster education on school students (children and teens). Following the magnitude 5.4 Pohang earthquake in 2017, Pohang City Hall conducted a school earthquake disaster education program over a period of four months (August to November) in 2018. Professors and graduate students from the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology taught around 5000 middle and high school students, while also conducting surveys. The experiences of the Pohang earthquake were analyzed and divided into cognitive responses and emotional responses. Students who felt activated emotional responses, surprise and fear, but not joy, tended to have more effective educational experiences. On the other hand, unpleasant emotional reactions, such as anger and sadness, had a negative effect on educational effectiveness. The cognitive response, which is perceived intensity in this research, did not impact educational effectiveness significantly. These results imply that the emotional responses of students are more important than their cognitive responses in providing a disaster education program. This means that even though an earthquake may be small in magnitude and may not cause physical damage, we still need to provide immediate disaster education to the children and teens if they are surprised and afraid of future disasters.
