| Title | Evaluating the Long Term Impact of Flipped Classroom in A Spiral Curriculum on Resident Competency Acquisition |
| Background/Purpose | Research into CBE has identified five core components, essential for the success of learners (Van Melle et al., 2019), of which learning experiences and teaching practices tailored to competency acquisition are two essentials. Accordingly, revision of some education delivery methods is warranted to assure the maximization of resident competency acquisition. An area of unexplored teaching methods is the long-term impact of a spiral design. This study aims to investigate the long-term impacts of the flipped classroom educational strategy in a spiral design on competency acquisition. |
| Methods | A prospective cohort study was incorporated into two different family medicine residency sites. The study used constructivism iterative usability approach to improve on the curriculum structure. The involvement of peer teachers in the second cohort was implemented to improve engagement. Residents' knowledge, confidence in their competency, behaviour change and strategies for competency acquisition at six months were evaluated with mixed methodologies. |
| Results | Residents in the second cohort (n=7) had a knowledge increment of 11.58% (vs first cohort: minus 3.33%) and higher confidence in competency at 62.79% (vs first cohort: 30%, n=5) at six months post-intervention. Residents (5 out of 6) improved their approach to diagnosis and management at 6 months. Residents found that synchronous learning enables interactivity and case-based learning. In addition, asynchronous learning allows frequent revisit of concepts and self-directed learning. Residents are receptive to spiral curriculum. |
| Discussion | This is the first long-term impact study on an integrated curriculum. A spiral flipped classroom enriches competency acquisition and should be utilized in post-graduate medical education. |
