Abstract

Mastery learning can be an effective method to ensure learner competence for specific procedures and skills. It has been used effectively in different fields of medicine. There are limited data within the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation relating to the use of mastery learning, although a few early studies have shown promise and feasibility. Physical medicine and rehabilitation requires expertise in a broad range of procedures and skills. Structured mastery learning programs may serve as a valuable tool to help physical medicine and rehabilitation learners achieve competency.
