"10 question voluntary survey was generated on Qualtrics and distributed electronically to all current Stony Brook School of Medicine students"

Considerations for CME

"A curriculum consisting of high-yield ultrasound concepts was developed and posted to Twitter @EDUltrasound daily. Followers received tweets "pushed" directly to their mobile devices. Following the year-long program, followers were surveyed regarding the program's effectiveness. To determine the ways in which tweets were reaching users, followers were categorized demographically."

"In summary, a morning report blog was perceived by learners to be an effective complement to case-based teaching sessions. The combination of novel web metrics and survey data allowed for a multifaceted evaluation of the educational impact of the blog."

Qualitative analysis of the attitudinal surveys following the activity provided data regarding students' preference for the Physical Webbing activity over the traditional lecture, acceptance of participatory manipulatives, perceived learning and attitudes towards collaborative kinesthetic three-dimensional Mind Mapping.

"Timely and explicit medical error disclosure is essential to maintain a strong bond of trust between physicians and their patients. Several surveys revealed that patients desire to be informed promptly of all medical errors (including the unintended minor ones) (1, 2), and furthermore, prefer to be debriefed in greater details than what most physicians think is needed (3). "

"It may be postulated that the improvement in students' self-perceptions of equality and diversity over the past 12 years may have been influenced by a generational acceptance of cultural diversity and, the inclusion of diversity training courses within the medical curriculum. Diversity training related to race and sexual orientation should be expanded, including a follow-up survey to assess the effectiveness of any intervention."

Results of a survey of one university and how it is adopting flipped classes

"Collectively, the 22 participant surveyed conveyed an averaged positive feedback score of 84 percent across the aforementioned feedback domains-with a mean score on the modified four-point Likert scale of 3.25."

"Eighty-six percent of physicians said they are interested in accessing electronic health records wirelessly, while 83% of doctors said they are interested in using mobile technology to prescribe medication, according to a new PricewaterhouseCoopers survey."

"In the General Medical Council's 2013 national training survey, 13.2% of respondents said that they had been victims of bullying and harassment in their posts, nearly one in five had seen someone else being bullied or harassed, and over a quarter had experienced "undermining" (unfair or belittling treatment)."

The "take home message" is that junior doctors and medical students are overwhelmingly enthusiastic to endorse organizational associated apps that help their learning and work activities.

"Telecommunication can successfully enhance access to simulation-based instruction. In this study, a Web interface downgraded the quality of student-faculty communication. Future investigation is needed to better understand the impact of such an effect on the learning process and to reduce barriers that impede implementation of technology-facilitated supervision."
