Optional baseline quiz.
"What's your pediatric cardiac electrophysiology spirit animal?"
Quiz of various types of ECG questions, e.g. rate, rhythm, axis, segment abnormalities, durations, classic pathological morphologies, age-related changes.
Quiz may also include what areas the person perceives they want more practice with.
Answers yield different animals.
E.g.
Hawk - Strengths: arrhythmias, classic pathological morphologies, Weaknesses: axes
Lion - Raar. You may be king of your pride, but can you handle the hardest challenges of the harsh pediatric ECG savannah? Strengths: did well in all sections, Weaknesses: Nothing specific
Chameleon - You're adaptable and can think on your feet. That said, there are still some patterns you have yet to memorize. We'll get you caught up on those! Strengths: rate, Weaknesses: classic pathological morphologies.
Fox - You still have a lot to learn about pediatric electrophysiology, but you're clever and will be great at this stuff in no time. [Listed all the baseline lessons]
Alligator - Strengths: , Weaknesses:
Wolf - Strengths: , Weaknesses:
Each animal associated with a different set of recommended lessons.
Can email self a list of those recommended lessons.
"Warning: Blatant animal stereotypes and misattribution of traits may be present. In this entirely fictional game world, you can be (and become!) whatever animal you want. As an educator though, I hope this little questionnaire helps you find a reasonably good starting place to advance your ECG interpretation skills from wherever those skills are currently."
