Background: It is challenging for busy residents and medical students to keep up to date on clinical guidelines. We used the conceptual frameworks of self-regulated learning and Limited Capacity Model of Motivated Mediated Message Processing as the basis for our medical education intervention using short podcasts to teach pediatric guidelines to pediatric residents and medical students. Objective: We used Kern’s 6 steps of curriculum development to create a resident-driven pediatric education podcast. We hypothesized that residents and medical students increase their confidence and knowledge of pediatric clinical practice guidelines after listening to the podcast. Design/Methods: Based on our needs assessment, we produced 8 podcast episodes based on pediatric guidelines with review by pediatric specialists. We assessed podcast listens, impactful plays (listens through >75% of episode), and listener geolocations. Pre- and post-intervention surveys were given to residents and medical students. Confidence by topic was self-assessed with very confident being scored 5 and very unconfident scoring 1. Medical knowledge was assessed with multiple choice questions. Those surveyed who did not listen to the podcast were used as the control group. Responses were analyzed using paired t-tests. Results: As of December 2022, there were over 560 listens distributed worldwide (Figure 1 and 2), with 92% impactful plays. Respondent listeners (n=13) reported an average confidence increase of 0.79 (95% CI 0.60 to 0.98) compared to 0.25 (95% CI -0.16 to 0.65) in non-listeners (n=16) (Figure 3). There was no difference in knowledge recall scores in listeners versus non-listeners (5.85 vs. 5.35; p = 0.26).
Conclusion(s): A pediatric medical education podcast is an effective tool for improving resident and medical student confidence in pediatric clinical guidelines.
