Objective: This study assesses effectiveness of a multisite Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) sub-competency-based curricular implementation on Slack during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.
Audience: The Residents-as-Teachers (RAT) curriculum is designed for emergency medicine (EM) residents of all years (PGY1-4).
Length Of Curriculum: The curriculum is divided into three hour-long sessions. The entire curriculum can be run as a single block or can be spread out over multiple days.

In the development phase, we generated items to form the 65-item Sexual Desire Questionnaire (DESQ).
