Implementation of a Virtual Cardiology Curriculum to Address the Deficit of Cardiovascular Education in Haiti
Authors' conclusion
This study demonstrates that it is possible to virtually deliver cardiology education to trainees in low- and middle-income countries on a national scale to address the deficit of CVD education.
Study context
- Population
- Internal medicine residents in Haiti, all residency years
- Participants
- 62 internal medicine residents
- Comparison
- Post-trimester vs pre-trimester assessment
- Outcome
- CVD knowledge acquisition (Cohen's r effect size)
Methodological detailsnationwide, all 4 internal medicine training programs in Haiti
- Nationwide
- All 4 internal medicine training programs in Haiti
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
CVD knowledge
- Significant improvement in cardiovascular disease (CVD) knowledge; all residency classes showed moderate to large effect sizes
