摘要

Background

Bedside teaching in obstetrics is increasingly challenged by clinical workload, leading to inconsistent OSCE preparation for medical students. To address this, we developed and implemented a microlearning-based preparatory curriculum using the MiLeMed app.

Methods

A microlearning-based OSCE preparatory curriculum was developed using Kern’s six-step model. Goals and objectives were defined via a Delphi process involving educators and students. A dedicated app with a 20-day study plan was created, piloted by 13 students, and evaluated using an online questionnaire.

Results

The Delphi process supported the use of microlearning with integrated quizzes and visuals. Pilot participants reported the app as helpful for understanding and exam preparation, and emphasized its usability and inclusive design in open-text feedback.

Discussion

The pilot study suggests that a microlearning app is a feasible and well-received tool for OSCE preparation. However, limitations such as small sample size, self-selection bias, and technological disparities must be considered. Future studies, including a planned randomized controlled trial, are needed to evaluate effectiveness and generalizability.
