title: Flexible teaching for inflexible schedules: an online resident curriculum in acute ambulatory care.
abstract: The authors report on a work in progress: a web-based curriculum for residents working shifts, addressing management of common acute outpatient problems. All components of the curriculum are available online, and residents may complete modules and submit tests at a time and from any location. There are few reports of web-based curricula in postgraduate training. Our interactive model avoids scheduling conflicts, is easily updated, encourages self-directed earning and facilitates resident assessment.
