Providing effective multisite didactic teaching in residency programs remains a challenge. There is limited evidence regarding the educational equivalency of the traditional and distance learning methods for delivery of didactics. We introduced a synchronous two-way audio and video Internet-transmitted distance learning methodology in two sites. The study assessed both residents' satisfaction and knowledge gain at the face-to-face lecture site as compared with the distance learning site. ⋯ Synchronous interactive instructor-led distance learning is an effective method for delivering residency didactics at more than one site. The new technology is well accepted by learners and is a promising approach to multi-site education.
