Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
Medical students and radiology residents: can they learn as effectively with the same educational materials?
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of resident-prepared, independent-learning materials for teaching chest radiology to medical students. ⋯ Independent study of resident-prepared chest radiology teaching cases increased medical student knowledge for at least 2 or 4 weeks after instruction. Although starting at lower knowledge levels, students experienced gains in knowledge comparable to those of residents, suggesting the same materials can be used to teach both students and residents.
