BackgroundAn asynchronous curriculum is one in which residents complete structured learning assignments outside of the traditional Emergency Medicine conference day. As educators are challenged with filling the time in the traditional didactic classroom setting with appropriate content while maintaining the interest of learners, asynchronous learning is becoming an essential component of Emergency Medicine resident curricula. While many residencies are investigating best practices to design and implement asynchronous education, relatively little guidance exists on the creation of such a curriculum.MethodsOur goal was to create an asynchronous curriculum using only a chief resident and a core faculty member. Our module-based asynchronous curriculum was formulated based on recommendations from the Council of Emergency Medicine Residency Directors (CORD) (Sadosty et al. 2009). We focused on using free open access medical education (FOAMEd) as primary content.ResultsOur residency program has successfully implemented an asynchronous curriculum for two years, and it is still ongoing. We achieved an assignment completion rate of 77.0% in the first year of implementation and 88.6% in our second year.ConclusionsThe creation and implementation of an asynchronous curriculum is manageable and well-received by Emergency Medicine residents. |
