Pediatric ECG Review (pECGreview) is a web-based, ECG of the week style program to enhance the ECG reading skills of pediatric cardiology fellows and other trainees and faculty. Developed at UTHSC, it is now available to all pediatric cardiology training programs.
Like many programs, we have used an “ECG of the week” approach as a supplement for training our fellows to read ECGs. We have created a web-based app using a secure REDCap survey platform to improve that process. The participants receive an email each Monday with a link to an ECG and text boxes to enter their interpretation. A follow-up email on Friday provides our interpretation and comments. A local faculty facilitator receives a weekly report of the fellows’ responses so that they can provide feedback as appropriate. Fellows are encouraged to review any questions they have with their facilitator/faculty. More than 30 training programs and 300 participants are now using our app.
