摘要：ObjectiveThis article assesses the efficacy of modern technology in improving education using neurovascular examination (NVE). To determine whether revision of NVE is facilitated with online video services.MethodsThis prospective study assessed medical students (n=260) and junior doctors (n=238) upper and lower limb NVE knowledge with an exam. A course utilising online videos was delivered. NVE knowledge was tested after the course. After one month, participants (n=100) were invited to watch the videos online and re sit the test.ResultsMean score of participants before the course was 2.76/8 for UL and 2.67/10 for LL. After delivery of the course there was a significant improvement in scores to 7.83/8 for UL and 9.33/10 for LL (p=<0.005). Statistical analysis revealed no significant difference in scores from just after the course to one month after (p=0.765 UL, p=0.779 LL).ConclusionsIntegrating online video tutorials with traditional teaching methods demonstrated a significant rise in performance. Revision is facilitated due to its availability and ease of use. This helps with performing an adequate and complete NVE. We recommend academic institutions adapt such educational technologies to advance learning improve patient care. Educational theories should be utilised to optimise their delivery.
