  • Title: Assessment of competencies in physicians-in-training through the delivery of a community-based health curriculum using distance learning.
    Author: Bortot AT, Culberson JW, Modak I, Becan-McBride K, Nieman LZ.
    Journal: Med Teach; 2004 Nov; 26(7):615-20. PubMed ID: 15763851.
    Abstract:
    Academic physicians must master the elements of curriculum development and evaluation specific to defined competencies in postgraduate medical education. Six fellows in primary care medicine, working as a peer group with a faculty mentor, designed and evaluated a distance-learning project that included resident physicians. Professionalism, interpersonal skills and systems-based medical practice skills were measured with original instruments designed by the peer group. By the process of evaluation and revision in a peer-group setting and with mentorship from program faculty, experiential learning enhanced the training of future academic physicians. This paper describes the background, process and statistical results of their work.
