Interpretation:

The curriculum effectively enhanced knowledge retention and peer respect among multidisciplinary trainees, addressing the challenges of varied baseline knowledge.

Limitations:

  • Feedback was based on self-reported surveys, which can introduce bias and may not fully capture the curriculum's impact.
Conclusion:

The novel case-based curriculum improved the learning environment for pain medicine fellows, facilitating knowledge sharing and collaboration among trainees with diverse backgrounds.
