My master's thesis involved creating an E-learning resource for medical students and clinicians to learn about how endometriosis presents in adolescents. This project looks to fill this knowledge gap through an adolescent endometriosis-specific e-learning resource targeted towards medical student education. The creation of a 3D model and 2D visuals work to inform students about the presence of adolescent-specific lesions on the uterus. A 3D model was molded and painted in Zbrush, a 3D modeling software, to reflect the various lesions found in adolescents. The model and accompanying 2D illustrations and animation were embedded into a website that prompts users to investigate the 3D model alongside learning material.

Feedback on the resource was collected using a JISC survey that inquired about the visuals and content’s usability, aesthetics, and value. The responses indicated a positive experience with the source and its ability to function as a medical student learning tool about adolescent endometriosis. The availability and existence of resources that discuss endometriosis care are so important, especially because this disease and its effects can influence the patient in such drastic ways. As education moves more online or in hybrid settings, having accessible resources that include advanced learning material, like 3D models, is important for maintaining a quality learning experience outside of a traditional classroom. The survey results and visual outcome from this project provide a resource for medical students that is accessible and not widely available and serves as a model for future e-learning resource development.
