Abstract

An outcomes-based novel curriculum integrating digital literacy, social media, and digital scholarship was implemented into an undergraduate medical education elective for first- and second-year medical students. Learners engaged in asynchronous discussion boards, live didactics and seminars, and a capstone project with peer feedback throughout the 7-week course.
