ObjectiveTo design, implement and assess an online learning module for third-year and fourth-year medical students addressing medication safety.DesignThis study was a prospective, parallel, open-label, randomised controlled trial with two arms: (1) a control arm in which students were given five articles to read about medication safety, and (2) an intervention arm in which students were given access to an interactive web-based learning module on medication safety. Pretesting and post-testing were done online to evaluate change in medication safety knowledge.ResultsTen students completed the study in the intervention group (online module) and six students completed the study in the control group. The increase in score obtained on the post-test, relative to the pretest, was 15.4% in the group who completed the online module and 2.0% in the control group (difference=13.4%, 95% CI 0.5% to 26.2%, p=0.04).ConclusionStudents who completed an online educational tool about medication safety demonstrated a significantly greater increase in knowledge than those who completed a few readings. Online learning modules can be a convenient and effective means of teaching safe prescribing concepts to medical trainees.

Introduction. Knowledge of fecal incontinence (FI) in medical professionals is poor. Undergraduate education is limited despite its relevance to many specialties. Our aim was to review undergraduate curriculum requirements for FI across the UK and evaluate the impact of a teaching tool on medical student knowledge. Methods. Governing bodies and medical school curricula were identified and searched for FI knowledge requirements. A questionnaire was developed to assess undergraduate exposure to FI teaching. This information was consolidated with a discussion group involving medical students and used to develop an e-learning module. Intervention was performed by trialing the module in a group of medical students and evaluated with feedback. Results. There is a considerable absence of undergraduate learning requirements for FI. Only 19% of medical students had received teaching on the subject despite there being a demand for more coverage (43%). A group discussion guided the development of an e-learning module. Introduction of this significantly improved medical students understanding in all aspects of diagnosis and management of FI. Conclusions. There is a shortfall in the undergraduate curriculum requirements for this common and debilitating problem. An e-learning module can enhance knowledge and understanding in medical students to improve patient care and management.

Abstract Introduction To evaluate the medical school undergraduate curriculum on faecal incontinence (FI) and develop an educational tool to improve the teaching on the subject. Method Qualitative analysis of literature research and data collected from medical students via emails, questionnaires and focused group discussions. Result FI has not been implanted into the undergraduate curriculum 12,13 and there are variations in teaching on the topic in different medical schools. n= 111 medical students at Cardiff University responded to the survey. FI was reported to be overlooked compared to other types of bowel dysfunction. 38 students reported to have teaching on bowel incontinence, whereas 64 and 74 students had teaching on diarrhoea and constipation respectively. 77% of medical students would like more teaching on bowel incontinence. 9 students participated in a focused group discussion. An interactive e-learning module from Xerte was created based on the students' suggestions and were trialed by a separate cohort of students (n=20). All 20 students showed significant improvement of students' confidence in faecal incontinence (p <= 2.132e∧-6) after completing the e-learning module. Conclusion We recommend introducing the educational resource into the undergraduate curriculum of Cardiff University medical school, especially targeting the clinical year, a clear guidance for FI should be published by the relevant postgraduate healthcare faculties and consider assessing at which stage of the postgraduate training should FI be taught. Take-home message Baseline knowledge of FI is poor. Lack of content in medical school curriculum and E learning modules potentially useful adjuncts.
