Competency based clinical shoulder examination training improves physical exam, confidence, and knowledge in common shoulder conditions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Deficiencies in musculoskeletal knowledge are reported at every stage of learning. Medical programs are looking for effective ways to incorporate competency-based training into musculoskeletal education.

Aim

To evaluate the impact of bedside feedback on learner's shoulder examination skills, confidence, and knowledge of common shoulder conditions.

Setting

Four-week musculoskeletal clinic rotation.

Participants

UCSD third year medical students and internal medicine residents.

Program description

Learners completed three baseline evaluations: videotaped shoulder examination, attitude survey, and knowledge test. During the 4-week intervention learners received bedside observation and feedback from musculoskeletal experts while evaluating patients
