Abstract

Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic caused substantial disruptions in geriatric psychiatry education. In response, the AAGP created the "AAGP COVID-19 Online Trainee Curriculum" (Curriculum) a free online resource consisting of 33 recorded lectures. This study examined the uptake and impact of the Curriculum.

Methods: Administrative data established the number of unique users. Surveys assessed demographics, prior AAGP engagement, prior experiences working with older adults, and each lecture's impact on participant knowledge, enthusiasm and confidence related to the module's topic area.

Results: From May 2020 through April 2023, 860 individuals utilized the Curriculum. Of 251 survey respondents, 54% were general psychiatry residents (37%, n = 91) or medical students (16%, n = 41). Surveys from the two most-accessed lectures showed an increase in knowledge and confidence in clinical skills.

Conclusions: The Curriculum reached medical students and general psychiatry residents. Postpandemic, the Curriculum may serve as a valuable resource to enhance geriatric psychiatry education and knowledge.

COVID-19 美国老年精神病学协会 (AAGP) 在线学员课程：项目评估与未来方向。

目标：COVID-19 大流行严重干扰了老年精神病学教育。为此，AAGP 创建了 "AAGP COVID-19 在线培训课程"（课程），这是一个由 33 个录制讲座组成的免费在线资源。本研究考察了该课程的使用情况和影响：方法：管理数据确定了独立用户的数量。调查评估了人口统计学、之前参与 AAGP 的情况、之前与老年人打交道的经验，以及每个讲座对参与者与模块主题领域相关的知识、热情和信心的影响：从 2020 年 5 月到 2023 年 4 月，共有 860 人使用了该课程。在 251 名调查对象中，54% 是普通精神病学住院医师（37%，n = 91）或医科学生（16%，n = 41）。对两个访问量最大的讲座进行的调查显示，受访者在临床技能方面的知识和信心都有所提高：该课程覆盖了医学生和普通精神病学住院医师。大流行后，该课程可作为加强老年精神病学教育和知识的宝贵资源。
