Background: Major changes in health care delivery and financing have negatively impacted students' experience during the surgery clerkship, particularly their exposure to physicians' decision-making processes and to the continuity of patient care. In response to these dilemmas in surgical education, we have developed the Web Initiative for Surgical Education (WISE-MD), a comprehensive surgery clerkship curriculum delivered through multimedia teaching modules and designed to enhance exposure to surgical disease and clinical reasoning.
Methods: As part of the process of creating WISE-MD, we conducted preliminary studies to assess the impact of this computer-assisted approach on students' knowledge, clinical reasoning, and satisfaction.
