Description

Aim

• Our aim was to design and implement cardiac monitoring education for medical residents in order to help residents feel more comfortable navigating and assessing telemetry.
• Our objective was to create and pilot a telemetry education video among Internal Medicine residents (from March to May 2018) resulting in a 75% increase in ability to demonstrate essential telemetry skills as determined by a pre and post video assessment.
