Abstract
Objective.—
To describe the implementation of a monthly pediatric jeopardy educational intervention (pediatric jeopardy) designed to increase resident reading.
Methods.—
Pediatric jeopardy, based on the game show
JEOPARDY!, was implemented in a pediatric residency training program in September 1997. The questions were derived from the current issues of
Pediatrics in Review, Pediatrics, and
Pediatrics Review and Education Program. Three residents from each training level competed in teams. Residents' reading habits were briefly surveyed in May 1998 using a 23-item questionnaire.
Results.—
Pediatric jeopardy was implemented and has been continued because both residents and faculty members believed it is a valuable part of the overall residency training program. Some format changes have occurred since the initial implementation of the program. Residents are seen with journals throughout the month, and they speak positively about this conference. The questionnaire response rate was 89.2%. Residents self-reported reading an average of 350 minutes per month (5.8 hours) in May 1998. Residents reported that they felt that this program increased their knowledge, motivated them to read, and should be used in other residency training programs.
Conclusion.—
Implementation of pediatric jeopardy may increase the amount of overall medical reading reported by the pediatric residents. Pediatric residents reported reading an average of 350 minutes per month. Residents felt this educational intervention was of significant educational value to them personally and should be used in other residency training programs.
