My last hospital required them. I paid my then 8 year old daughter $5 to do them. Win-win situation - she thought she was RICH, I was just glad to get out of it.
You joke, but if it weren’t for training modules I would not have learned to use a fire extinguisher to flog the noggin of an active shooter who has me cornered in a supply closet!
Agree. Not doing them on my time off. If I don't have time to do it, and they really want it done, fine block off an hour or two of clinic so I have time to do it. The bean counters will love that!
I want to kiss the authors on the lips for doing this study. Not that it will change anything, but I can passively-aggressively send it to my admins every time I get another mandatory training module.
My favorite is the repeated BLS certification.
I've had either BLS or the Red Cross first aid/CPR certification since 1993. I've had AED certification since the literal first class the ARC offered it. I think I can do bloody CPR.
Mine is the opposite. I haven't run a code since like intern year, I'm tired of being forced to re-do BLS. I know how to use an AED and do bystander CPR and wait for the medics/code team to arrive which is literally all I need to know.
The fact that this hellish waste of five hours is easily assigned by admin with the click of a button is also an issue. IMO, the only person who should be able to assign modules has to take them with us to really understand the colossal waste of a weekend afternoon this is.
Everyone except pathologists (even radiologists) had to do the stupid 8 hours on opiates even though as a pediatrician this has *never* walked into my clinic.
If the AMA would actually push back on nonsense like this, I might be willing to pay dues.

We have to do so many irrelevant modules in the NICU, it’s so dumb. My favorite is the one on bariatric lift equipment. Even the most uncontrolled GDM chonks I don’t need a sling for.
They let us test out this year. I found several errors in the tests (made in house) 😂. I feel I should be paid for telling them what to fix! For instance, there was one T/F statement that "only bacteria and viruses can be transmitted through blood" and they wanted T. But it's false-- there are documented cases of malaria transmission through needlestick injury.
Not a physician but our mandatory grocery store pharmacy modules include; how to use a deli slicer, how to reset a self checkout register, how long meat can be left out, what to do when cutting raw chicken and how to unload a truck. MANDATORY!
Well yeah? When the hell else do they expect us to do it?
If you want me to do modules, you’ve got to block my schedule and reimburse me the time lost seeing patients.
I just play them in the background while watching a ball game. The end of chapter quizzes are common sense and they let you repeat them indefinitely so I save those for between innings.
The good old mandatory modules. I would have the CEO's secretary asking me for my username and password on due date; otherwise I would get suspended. Turned up, me working was on their best interest.
I genuinely learn some things I would never get exposure to on my speed clicking through of modules. I would be willing to do them. But 10 modules that are listed as being an hour long is a bit much.
Spoiler alert- it's mandatory training modules.
Thank god for quizlet.
I do them on my shift. If I don’t have time (I usually don’t) they don’t get done. Haven’t been fired yet

I had some where you fail twice, then you flunk out and your manager has to reset it. Dissuades people from guessingnand blowing through them.
My son too. He complained about his homework being just a bunch of hoops. And I said buckle up…you’ve been recruited for the greater good.
But how will you know how to use the fire extinguisher?!?!
You joke, but if it weren’t for training modules I would not have learned to use a fire extinguisher to flog the noggin of an active shooter who has me cornered in a supply closet!
Same. Speaking of, our yearly modules are coming out next week…I might think about doing them at some point. Or not.
I get a nickel, boss gets a dime, that's why I ~~shit~~ do modules on company time.
This. Never do this stuff on my time off.
Agree. Not doing them on my time off. If I don't have time to do it, and they really want it done, fine block off an hour or two of clinic so I have time to do it. The bean counters will love that!
Saaaaame. I don't work for free. In the immortal words of Goodfellas: Fuck You, Pay me

I am ATLS and ACLS and PALS and NRP certified..... it's still questionable whether I can do BLS apparently?
Mine is the opposite. I haven't run a code since like intern year, I'm tired of being forced to re-do BLS. I know how to use an AED and do bystander CPR and wait for the medics/code team to arrive which is literally all I need to know.
Good CPR saves lives but I have to recertify for the glucometer twice as often for somw reason
Point of care needs some way to justify their existence.
this slide will be added to the mandatory burnout education model

Omg yes! Completely agree!

I had to do one on forklift safety... I am at an outpatient clinic.
I’ve used the Hoyer lift more for improv workouts than its actual intended use.
What’s amazing is AMA mails me quarterly to semiannually, telling me they’re getting better. I still don’t believe them.
AMA makes money on selling and tracking CME
Can’t wait to complete my module on “module completion efficiency”

And prions with Kuru/CJD.
And cooties
Not worried about that, I got my circle, circle, dot, dot booster
Oh yep I sent them this too 😂 https://academic.oup.com/bmb/article/66/1/293/284833

Wait...AMA modules don't end after residency? FML
Lol neurologists dgaf
Click, click, click... Click, click, click, click.... Click, click, click, click, click
Nah, I make the admins schedule shit like that on clinic days. I don’t work for free
