Teaching Medical Students to Create Anesthetic Plans Using a Branched-Chain Learning Module

It is challenging to include medical students in the anesthetic decision-making process during their introductory clinical rotation in anesthesiology. Furthermore, the rotation is often too brief to even expose students to the variety inherent in anesthesia practice. We created a web-based, branched-chain learning module (BCLM) for medical students with alternate narratives and patient outcomes based on their anesthetic choices. In semistructured group interviews, students described how the BCLM met its educational objectives and gave constructive feedback on several ways to improve their experience with it, guiding the future use of BCLMs in medical education.
