The induction of doctors to a new hospital is mandatory and includes the work-based assessment of mandatory knowledge.

We compared eLearning and lectures for induction of hospital doctors by randomizing them into a Lecture Group (LG) and eLearning Group (eLG) using an opaque envelope technique. The LG attended lectures on their induction day while the eLG performed their induction using eLearning prior to joining the trust. The curriculum was the same for both groups.

All 133 doctors joining the NHS trust of 2 teaching hospitals over a five month period were included with no exclusion criteria. There were 63 individuals in the LG and 70 doctors in the eLG with no statistically significant differences in demographics. Improved learning outcomes were seen in the eLG in 5 of the 6 modules (p |
