Can case-based discussions in a group setting be used to assess residents' clinical skills?

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The purpose of this study was to explore residents' and assessors' perception of a new group assessment concept.

Methods

This qualitative study consists of observations of four group assessment sessions, followed by semi-structured interviews with six residents and four assessors (specialists in internal medicine), who all volunteered to be interviewed. All residents at a medical department (eleven to fifteen each time) and four assessors participated in four group assessments, where the residents' clinical skills were assessed through case-based discussions. An external consultant (an anthropologist) performed the observations and the interviews. Notes from the observations and the interviews were analyzed using an inductive approach.
