Abstract
Objectives:To study the impact of an educational intervention on obstetrician-gynecologist clinicians' knowledge of racial and ethnic disparities in the menopause experience.Methods:Twenty-five obstetrician-gynecologist physicians (residents, fellows, and attendings) at an academic medical center in New York, NY, completed the Achieving Menopausal Health Equity Network course, a brief web-based intervention consisting of four modules delivered through narrated didactic videos and interactive tools, a 10-item pretest and posttest, and a course evaluation survey. The primary outcome was a change in knowledge scores after the completion of the educational intervention. Item analysis was also performed to assess item discrimination, item difficulty, and response frequency. Feedback on modules was obtained, and thematic analysis was performed.Results:In this study, 25 participants completed the educational intervention. There was a statistically significant increase in mean test scores after participation (pretest mean score=7.1/10 vs. posttest mean score=8.1/10, P =0.0021). The following themes emerged in thematic analysis: knowledge building with potential for practical application for clinicians and non-clinicians, clarity and relevance, and opportunities for growth for future iterations of the modules.Conclusions:This brief, online educational curriculum focused on racial and ethnic disparities in menopause significantly improved the knowledge of obstetrician-gynecologist clinicians at various levels of training and provides a useful model for introducing more formal training on menopause medicine for obstetrician-gynecologist clinicians.
