摘要：We evaluated the effectiveness of text messaging versus email,as a delivery method to enhance knowledge retention of emergency medicine (EM) content in EM residents.We performed a multi-centered,prospective,randomized study con_x0002_sisting of postgraduate year (PGY) 1 to PGY 3 & 4 residents in three United States EM residency programs in 2014.Fifty eight residents were randomized into one delivery group:text message or email.Participants completed a 40 question pre- and post-intervention exam.Primary outcomes were the means of pre- and post-intervention exam score differenc?es.Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics,paired t-test,and multiple linear regressions.No significant difference was found between the primary outcomes of the two groups (P= 0.51).PGY 2 status had a significant negative effect (P= 0.01) on predicted exam score difference.Neither delivery method enhanced resident knowledge retention.Further research on implementation of mobile technology in residency education is required.
