Randomized Controlled Trial
Text messaging to improve resident knowledge: a randomized controlled trial.
Advances in technology present opportunities to develop and test innovative teaching methods. We sought to evaluate whether text messaging could improve medical resident knowledge in musculoskeletal medicine. ⋯ The use of eGEMs as initially developed did not increase resident knowledge based on exam scores. Further study is needed to determine if a more tailored intervention is effective.
