ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The current practice in medical education is to place students at off-site locations. The effectiveness of these students attending remote lectures using interactive videoconferencing needs to be evaluated.PURPOSE:
To determine whether lecture content covering clinical objectives is learned by medical students located at remote sites.METHODS:
During the University of Vermont medicine clerkship, 52 medical students attended lectures both in person and via 2-way videoconferencing over a telemedicine network. The study used a crossover design, such that all students attended half of the lectures in person and half using videoconferencing. At the end of the clerkship, students were assessed via a Clinical Practice Examination (CPX), with each student completing 1 exam for material learned in person and 1 for material learned over telemedicine.RESULTS:
Exam scores did not differ for the 2 lecture modes, with a mean score of 76% for lectures attended in person and a mean score of 78% for lectures attended via telemedicine (p = 0.66).CONCLUSIONS:
Students learn content focused on clinical learning objectives as well using videoconferencing as they do in the traditional classroom setting.
