An observational study of three different transfusion medicine teaching methods for medical students

Knowledge deficits of transfusion medicine are prevalent among learners and practicing physicians. In the past the transfusion medicine community has thoughtfully defined the content of transfusion medicine curriculums through Transfusion Medicine Academic Award Group and The Academy of Clinical Laboratory Physicians and Scientists. The manner in which the curriculum should be delivered has been less carefully examined and defined.We completed an observational study in which we analyzed three different teaching techniques: in-person faculty led simulation curriculum consisting of didactic session and simulation (Simulation group); hybrid education with a combination of online materials and short in-person simulation (Hybrid group); and online only education module, which delivered the whole curricular content through a variety of online materials and videos (Online only).
