Summary

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of a web based learning module in the prescription of laboratory examens by postgraduate medical students.

Background: The internal medicine service of Valais encounters several prescription issues such as overprescription of blood iron or transferrin level determination and too rare D vitamine level.

Methods: The investigators will introduce postgraduate medical students to a single use e-learning module about common deficiencies in hospitalized patients. A quick test will be performed before and after the module, then at 2 and 4 months. Efficiency will be determined by the analysis of the median number of prescriptions of blood iron, transferrin and D vitamine levels 6 months before the module then monthly until completion of the study . It is planned to recruit between 40 and 55 students.

Outcome: The investigators will evaluate efficiency of the web based learning module by analysing the prescription rate 5 months before and 5 months after the intervention. Second outcome will be testing of the efficiency over time by monthly analysis of the prescriptions and results at the test.
