156 An Innovative Virtual ECG curriculum to Address Clinical Experience Gaps in Fourth-Year Medical Students Due to COVID-19

Abstract

COVID-19, due to the cancellation of many clinical rotations, has introduced new challenges as graduating students prepare to start residency with less direct patient care experience compared to prior years. In many schools, clinically relevant ECG interpretation is typically learned in a longitudinal fashion at the bedside and this lack of clinical experience may affect acquisition of this key skill. To bridge this gap in knowledge within the requirements of social distancing the investigators developed a novel, virtual ECG curriculum designed for MS-4 students entering residency.
