Effectiveness of an Emailed EKG Curriculum for Residency Training Multiple modalities are available for teaching within medical education, with the advent of simulation, web-based content and standardized patients supplementing the more standard methods of lecture, problem based learning, and group discussion. One avenue used in business for education and compliance is a weekly email. The modality of a weekly email has been shown to be effective for medical student education when supplemented with lecture on a narrow focus; it has not been studied in post-graduate medical residents or between residency types. We aim to study if a weekly email EKG curriculum is effective in educating a variety of residents among institutions via a standard pre and post test assessment.
