DescriptionPuropse:
A series of grand round (GR) lectures was introduced in the Rutgers Nurse Anesthesia Program (RNAP) for the purpose of greater student engagement via audience response systems (ARS). The goal of these grand rounds was to increase the knowledge retention and clinical preparedness of nurse anesthesia residents while also providing an alternative learning opportunity that contrasts the traditional classroom/didactic model. The review of the literature consistently demonstrates that when students are given the opportunity for interactive education via ARS, especially when it is presented by fellow students and “expert” lecturers in low-stress environments, there is improved knowledge retention and clinical practice.

Methodology:
In order to test this hypothesis in the RNAP, a quantitative study was completed. Knowledge retention was evaluated using pre post posttest exams developed with content referenced in the GR presentations. Additional quantitative and qualitative data regarding the practicality and potential continuation of GRs in the RNAP was assessed through a corresponding perception survey that attendees were invited to complete.

Results & Implications for Practice:
The information gathered from these various means provided the investigators with an in-depth view of the usefulness of GR. The impact of these findings was quite positive for the RNAP—continuation of this easily implemented GRs lecture series has the potential to improve the knowledge and practice of both current and future nurse anesthesia providers.
