This a randomized trial comparing the use of an organized podcast curriculum using the podcast, CREOGs Over Coffee, to usual teaching for first and second year Ob/Gyn residents on their obstetrics rotations. Residents at HUP and PAH will be included. Post intervention questionnaires will be administered at the end of each block to assess resident satisfaction with their block as well as confidence in their clinical care and skills. CREOG scores will be used to assess knowledge differences.
All PGY-1 and PGY-2 Ob/Gyn residents at the Hospital of University of Pennsylvania (HUP) and Pennsylvania Hospital (PAH) will be eligible and recruited for this randomized trial over the period of January 2021 January 2023 (period chosen as CREOGs are given in January, and trial will start immediately after next CREOG exam). There are currently 7 PGY-1 residents and 8 PGY-2 residents at HUP and 7 PGY-1 residents and 8 PGY-2 residents at PAH. In two academic years, with the addition of 7 PGY-1 residents at HUP and 7 PGY-1 residents at PAH, this will total 43 residents.
Residents will be randomized individually to receive a podcast curriculum vs. usual teaching on the labor floor rotations. Rotations where there will be a podcast curriculum include labor and delivery, night float, and Maternal Fetal Medicine. The details of the curriculum for each rotation will be listed below. At all times, all residents will have access to the podcast content, but those randomized to usual teaching will not be given an organized podcast curriculum for each rotation. Currently, usual teaching includes didactic teaching for the above topics on Thursday mornings (7am-12 pm), clinical teaching while on the rotations, simulation training, and self-learning.
Residents will be protected against undue influence or coercion as those that are administering the surveys and recruiting residents (FC) will not be involved in their residency reviews.
