Association for Surgical Education Objective assessment of videoconferenced lectures in a surgical clerkship
2005
Background: A challenge to the practice of third-year clerkship rotations at remote locations is the maintenance of equivalent didactic lectures, especially in subspecialty components. There has been little objective assessment of the results of videoconference lectures on medical student clerkship education. Methods: Third-year surgical clerkship students, randomly assigned to a 4-week rotation 75 miles from the medical school, received subspecialty lectures by interactive teleconference via an ISDN line at 128 kb/s. Weekly quiz results (% correct) of students who received videoconference lectures were compared with students receiving conventional lectures, and were analyzed by 2-tailed t tests for equality of means.
