To determine knowledge growth and resident satisfaction with an online curriculum in movement disorders during neurology residency across multiple programs.
We have previously reported on the implementation of an online curriculum in movement disorders in the Yale Neurology Residency, in which we found knowledge growth and high satisfaction. We aimed to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of such a curriculum across multiple programs using a randomized, controlled design.

Programs were recruited through the AAN Consortium of Neurology Program Directors (CNPD). 9 programs achieved IRB approval to be included, and were randomized to either intervention (6 programs) or control groups (3 programs). Residents in the intervention group completed 10 modules, while residents in the control group did not. All groups completed pre-, post-, and delayed post-tests (10 questions each). Intervention residents completed modules between pre- and post-tests, and also completed a survey about the process.
86/117 residents in the intervention group completed at least one module and 74 completed >/= 5/10 modules. Mean pre-test scores were not significantly different between the intervention and control groups (6.3 vs. 6.5, p=0.47) but the intervention group had significantly higher scores on post- (8.0 vs. 7.1, p=0.02) and delayed post-tests (7.9 vs. 6.9, p=0.02). In the survey, residents indicated that they liked having a framework for movement disorders, appreciated the interactivity, and wanted more modules.
Implementation of online movement disorders modules was feasible across several residency programs. Residents in programs with access to the movement disorders modules showed significantly higher knowledge scores compared to residents who did not use the modules, and this knowledge growth was sustained on a delayed post-test. Limitations include suboptimal resident retention between tests, and limited control group participation. Similar, sharable curricula for residents across the spectrum of neurology may be of value.
