Abstract

BACKGROUND: Recently with the evolution of interest and electronic devices, education was changed greatly to be easier, effective, and reasonable. Emergency medicine is a sensitive part of medicine which need rapid stabilization, examination, diagnosis, and even management of the participant.

AIM: In this study, we focused on emergency medicine registrars at King Saud medical city to know their preferred learning methods during extracurricular time. Furthermore, we investigated the relationship between certain demographic characteristics and preferred learning modality.

METHODS: We used validation questionnaire design and tested by UTAH University in the United States of America, it was a simple survey designed to cover all important points in short time. We distributed the survey using online tool (survey monkey).

RESULTS: Our study results found that podcasts was the most modality chosen by participants as beneficial and they expend their time more on podcasts. Age of participants was shown to be associated with use of internet and Google as leaning tool. We hope that researcher investigates this area of gab and future learning methods during emergency medicine doctors as well as other specialties of medicine.

CONCLUSION: We found that participants chose podcasts as a learning channel more than other modalities in our study of emergency medicine registrars at all levels and their extracurricular educational programs. Age was substantially correlated with less use of Google and online searches for educational purposes.
