Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate a pediatric otoscopy curriculum with the use of outcome measures that included assessment of skills with real patients. METHODS:Thirty-three residents in an intervention group from 2 institutions received the curriculum. In the previous year, 21 residents in a nonintervention group did not receive the curriculum. Both groups were evaluated at the beginning and end of their internship years with the use of the same outcome assessments: 1) a written test, 2) an objective standardized clinical examination (OSCE), and 3) direct observation of skills in real patients with the use of a checklist with established validity. RESULTS:The intervention group had a significant increase in percentage reaching minimum passing levels between the beginning and end of the internship year for the written test (12% vs 97%; P < .001), OSCE (0% vs 78%; P < .001), and direct observation (0% vs 75%; P < .001); significant mean percentage gains for the written test (21%; P < .001), OSCE (28%; P < .001), and direct observation (52%; P = .008); and significantly higher (P < .001) mean percentage gains than the nonintervention group on the written test, OSCE, and direct observation. The nonintervention group did not have a significant increase (P = .99) in percentage reaching minimum passing levels, no significant mean percentage gains in the written test (2.7%; P = .30) and direct observation (6.7%; P = .61), and significant regression in OSCE (-5.2%; P = .03). CONCLUSIONS:A pediatric otoscopy curriculum with multimodal outcome assessments was successfully implemented across different specialties at multiple institutions and found to yield gains, including in skills with real patients.
