Congratulations to Adin Nelson, MD, MHPE, Assistant Professor of Clinical Pediatrics, on receiving the Department of Pediatrics 2022 Pilot Award for his study, What Can One Practice Question a Day Do For Pediatrics Residents?
Dr. Nelson’s project is a national prospective study that will examine how answering daily multiple-choice practice questions can improve residents’ learning. There is a growing body of literature on the strategy of studying with review questions - called retrieval practice, but it’s never been tested on a large scale in the real world. Dr. Nelson is partnering with the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Association of Pediatrics Program Directors to study this technique, making it one of the largest prospective studies ever done in medical education.
