Effect of Novel Continuing Medical Education Curriculum on Attitudes and Understanding of Primary Care Medicine for the Naval Surface Provider.

CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates improvement in Naval surface provider knowledge and attitudes in a variety of subject areas after implementation of a novel curriculum tailored specifically to address the unique considerations for practice at sea. Material was beneficial to all trainees despite significant differences in training background. Confidence gained as a result of the course was directly correlated to perceived relevance of the material, but not to educational background. Future work could investigate the use of curriculum in deployed providers and incorporation into current training of the OPNAVINST 6400.1c, Appendix A. PMID: 28885945 [PubMed - in process]
