Study Summary
Our objective was to test two educational interventions for teaching cardiac auscultation: self-directed learning using portable audio files versus a single, massed multimedia lecture intervention similar to current best practice, to determine which would most effectively increase recognition of common cardiac sounds by physicians. The investigators hypothesized that doctors learning on their own time could better improve their skills.
Primary Outcome
Primary outcome was an improvement in test score from pre-test to 4 and 12-week post-test. All participants took a 15-question pretest in addition to a posttest at 4 and 12 weeks using identical heart sound files to those used in training. Each test Tests consisted of 8-second clips of each heart sound file, with 10 beats of each sound.
