摘要
Rationale and Objectives. The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate by student survey an interactive computer tool for teaching breast imaging to 4th-year medical students. Materials and Methods. An interactive computer game was designed for competitive play between two students or between one student and one of two cyber players. Content was determined from a survey of faculty members in breast imaging, and the survey results were grouped into 10 learning objectives. Pre-existing knowledge of these objectives in 16 4th-year medical students was tested by a quiz. On the basis of the learning objectives, case scenarios and questions were incorporated into the game, which was programmed in JavaScript and available on a Web site. Preliminary and final versions of the game were used for teaching 55 4th-year medical students. A subgroup of 42 students received an informational handout. Student surveys were performed. Results. Mean quiz score for pre-existing knowledge of the learning objectives was 45% (range, 13%-67%). Survey results showed that images contributed to educational value (92%), the Web site was more interesting to students than the handout (93.6%), and the Web site provided additional reinforcement of learning beyond that of the handout or lecture (88.8%). Students liked the Web site accessibility (96%), and more than 70% agreed the Web site was also appropriate for other medical specialties. An Internet search identified no other Web-based computer games for medical students. Conclusion. Students surveyed found the Web site to be worthwhile, convenient, and applicable to other specialties.
