iPad vs. Textbook



Last Thursday we held our randomization for our iPad vs. Textbook Initiative. For the uninitiated, the WashUOBGYN Residency Program will be outfitting half of the residency with iPads while the other half get an equivalent textbook fund. We will evaluate residents in terms of objective performance on exams as well as satisfaction with educational resources.

Before the randomization, everyone left with a textbook. Just a little gift from Dr. Peipert to the residents.

In this video, you will see our "Holiday Tree". We used a computerized generator to randomize residents to iPad or textbooks. Their choice is written on a card and placed in an envelope with their name on it. One by one, we let residents come to the front to pick their card.

Here's a video of R1 Natalia selecting her card.

A great time was had by all but now the real work starts!

Happy Holidays and Happy Learning!

  1. That's Dr. Peipert multitasking at the end of the first video. Patti Sasse makes a guest appearance in the second video.
