ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Clinical clerkship curricula should exist to provide rotating learners on subspecialty rotations with consistent exposure to specific topics geared toward the discipline of interest, such as pediatric gastroenterology (GI). We aim to describe our experience developing and implementing DIGEST the Digital Interactive Gastroenterology Education Suite for Trainees, a novel, online GI curriculum delivered to virtual, rotating learners during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic stay-at-home order. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
A general needs assessment in 2019 identified a lack of standardized educational experience amongst the rotating learners on pediatric GI service. The COVID-19 pandemic compelled us to transition our curriculum from our institution's secure share drive to the GOOGLE classroom. A program evaluation was undertaken and included learner responses to content and confidence questionnaires and a health care professions education (HPE) expert's response to a course quality assessment rubric.RESULTS:
Feasibility-the final DIGEST product was free of charge to create but incurred direct and indirect costs of time and training on behalf of the authors. Acceptance-7 possible learners participated and responded to the questionnaires (100% response rate). Learners reported a superior learning experience and increased confidence with DIGEST. An HPE expert reported that the course design of DIGEST met or exceeded expectations in all categories.CONCLUSIONS:
DIGEST is a novel pediatric GI curriculum for rotating learners that could be rapidly deployed, or adapted, for a wide range of clinical disciplines within the Military Health System.
