Is it possible to get inside that black box of how medical students reason and to assess how they arrived at a diagnosis? Join us for this special presentation featuring learnings from this two-year collaboration with a community of medical educators. Gain new insights that can provide a model for future advancements in clinical reasoning assessment.
You’ll come away with a better understanding of:
- Why taking a fresh approach for assessment design was necessary and understand the fundamentals behind Evidence-Centered Design
- How to reframe assessing clinical reasoning as a process, not only as an outcome
- Why validity is the fundamental consideration in assessment
