Preparation by mandatory E-modules improves learning of practical skills: a quasi-experimental comparison of skill examination results

摘要

BackgroundUntil recently, students at UMC Utrecht Faculty of Medicine prepared for practical skills training sessions by studying recommended literature and making written assignments, which was considered unsatisfactory. Therefore, mandatory e-modules were gradually introduced as substitute for the text based preparation. This study aimed to investigate whether this innovation improved students’ performance on the practical skills (OSCE) examination.
