Zusammenfassung: | Introduction
Problem-based learning (PBL) presents unique challenges to longitudinal disciplines such as pharmacology. A curricular supplement (PharmWeb) was created to increase pharmacology knowledge, increase surface learning/recognition memory, and increase deeper learning/production memory.
Methods
First-year medical students (162) were presented 14 brief, optional, self-paced, weekly online learning modules. Usage was assessed by module views and quiz completions. Learning gains were assessed via multiple-choice question (MCQ) pre-/post-tests and existing curriculum assessments (National Board of Medical Examiners [NBME] MCQ customized assessment and an essay examination).
Results
Most students (92 %) visited PharmWeb; users demonstrated significant learning gains (
