NCT03758391

Brief Summary

This is an educational research study to compare knowledge retention of neonatal-perinatal medicine (NPM) fellowship trainees instructed on a subsection of the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) NPM Content Outline using traditional didactic lectures (control group) versus a flipped classroom methodology (intervention group). The primary objectives are to assess whether the flipped classroom provides equivalent or superior outcomes for knowledge acquisition and retention compared to traditional lecture-based formats, based upon baseline and serial knowledge assessments (after the educational session, and at 3- and 6- month intervals). The secondary outcomes are learner and educator preference.
