Diagnostic Reasoning Assessment Toolkit: Guided Reflection and Standardized Cases for At-Risk Final-Year Medical Students.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

A failing diagnostic reasoning performance may represent student deficiency in a number of potential areas. However, many standard clinical skills assessments do not offer detailed assessments of diagnostic reasoning ability. This toolkit was designed to identify specific learner deficiencies with respect to diagnostic reasoning by focusing on individual student remedial work and by standardizing faculty evaluation.

Methods

Educational objectives were derived from institutional patient care competency learning objectives at the Indiana University School of Medicine. Review of existing clinical skills remediation literature yielded a design that combined two learning methods: guided reflection and standardized patient cases.
