Canadian general internal medicine residents’ perception of a pedagogical tool of online cases in obstetric medicine [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
BackgroundSufficient exposure to rarer medical problems around pregnancy is a challenge during short rotations in obstetric medicine (OM). A Canadian research group created online clinical cases, the CanCOM cases, to overcome this.MethodsWe conducted an exploratory study to document the use and perceived utility of the CanCOM cases. 77 residents doing an OM rotation participated in our study. We used a survey to document their perception of CanCOM cases (12 items, 7-point scale), clinical exposure to several conditions (pre and post rotation; 41 items, 7-point scale) and use of the educational tool (1 item, 4-option scale).ResultsCanCOM cases was perceived as an accessible and useful tool. Participants completed a median of 6/20 cases (range 1–20), and highly recommended the cases (6.48 ± 0.73 SD on a 7-point Likert scale).ConclusionDespite some technical limitations, CanCOM cases was shown to contribute to clinical exposure to rare but essential medical conditions.
