Evaluating the Training Needs of Active Duty and Reserve Military General Surgeons

摘要

This research program addressed a very important issue, the provision of didactic trauma education. The focus was the development of curriculum definition tools with which to create multimedia lectures: and the lectures themselves. In spite of all of the enthusiasm about computer-aided instruction, there is a paucity of high quality trauma lectures available. This research team is prepared to create an extensive and evolving set of materials that will address the needs of military trauma surgeons. The deficit of the present work is the lack of a formal evaluation of knowledge acquisition and retention as a result of the use of these computer-based eduction modules. This deficiency can and will be corrected if additional funds are provided.
