We evaluated the effects of 2 resident teaching tools on anesthesia residents' education during the neuroanesthesia rotation in this prospective quasi-crossover cohort study.
Problem-based learning discussion was compared with interactive screen-based simulation in improving test scores.
Each resident underwent both types of training sessions. Baseline tests were done (before the start of the rotation) based on the 2 clinical case scenarios.
Test scores 4 and 8 weeks after the start of the rotation were compared.
Compared to the current institutional standard of problem-based learning discussion, screen-based simulation did not improve test scores; however, resident satisfaction on a 5-point Likert scale showed positive impact on education.
