Telemedicine Teaching for Everyone? Comparing Responses of Medical Students and Residents with a Shared Curriculum.
Article in Telemedicine reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic forced rapid increases in the use of telemedicine, which requires a different skillset than in-person visits. Both medical students and residents required urgent training in telemedicine to utilize the technology for patient care. This study compares evaluation outcomes using the same shared national curriculum for medical students and family medicine residents at the same institution. Methods: Medical students and family medicine residents at Western Michigan University Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine completed and evaluated the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine Telemedicine Task Force national curriculum on best practices and foundations within the realm of telemedicine. A Mann-Whitney analysis was performed on Likert scale questions. Results: Medical students had significantly greater knowledge, skill, or attitude acquisition from Module 1, the basics of telemedicine, than family medicine residents. There were no significant differences in knowledge, skill, or attitude acquisition in Module 2, 3, 4, or 5. Discussion: The results from this single-institution sample of medical students and family medicine residents using a shared telemedicine curriculum illustrate important differences from the national data. Unlike the national data, there was a significant difference in knowledge, skill, or attitude acquisition in Module 1, while there was no difference in knowledge, skill, or attitude acquisition in the remaining four modules. Our results indicate changing utility of the telemedicine modules based on previous and ongoing experience. Learners of multiple levels find utility in a shared curriculum in teaching novel concepts.
