The Murmur Online Learning Experience (MOLE) Curriculum Improves Medical Students’ Ability to Correctly Identify Cardiac Murmurs

Abstract: Introduction: Physical examination skills are receiving less attention in curricula and clinical practice, being supplanted by imaging and other technologies. We developed an online module to introduce auscultation of common cardiac murmurs to second-year medical students. Methods: The Murmur Online Learning Experience (MOLE) curriculum focused on nine common, unique, or highly testable cardiac murmurs, chosen collaboratively by the authors. The curriculum consisted of (1) a nine-item multiple-choice pretest c… Show more

“…We chose a multiple‐choice test as our assessment modality to measure change in medical knowledge on the topic of RD pre‐ and postimplementation. This modality has been used previously to measure this competency in medical education curricular developements 22–24 . Students took the test prior to and 2 weeks after completing the module to assess for improvement and retention in knowledge.…”

“…Cardiac auscultation via stethoscope is the most common method of educating undergraduate medical students on how to listen to heart sounds [ 6 ]. Medical students are taught during the pre-clinical years of medical school the appropriate landmarks for auscultation on the patient during a cardiac exam.…”

“…Medical students are taught during the pre-clinical years of medical school the appropriate landmarks for auscultation on the patient during a cardiac exam. This optimizes the volume and quality of the various heart sounds to detect abnormalities in patients who may have cardiac valvular disease [ 6 ]. Students also acquire the knowledge necessary to differentiate heart murmurs by various means, which may include listening to various recordings of heart tones.…”
