Journal of Graduate Medical Education: Volume 14, Issue 6, Pages 634-638
This article discusses recent recommendations from the UME-GME Review Committee (UGRC) to address challenges in the UME-GME transition—including complexity, negative impact on well-being, costs, and inequities.
Research in Nursing & Health: Volume 46, Issue 1, Pages 127-135
As interest in supporting new nurse practitioners' (NPs) transition to practice increases, those interested in measuring the concept will need an instrument with evidence of reliability and validity. The Novice NP Role Transition (NNPRT) Scale is the first instrument to measure the concept. Using a cross-sectional design and data from 210 novice NPs, the purpose of this study was to confirm the NNPRT Scale's internal factor structure via confirmatory factor analysis (CFA).
Academic Medicine: Volume 98 - Issue 2 - Pages 180-187
This article describes the work of the Coalition for Physician Accountability’s Undergraduate Medical Education to Graduate Medical Education Review Committee (UGRC) to apply a quality improvement approach and systems thinking to explore the underlying causes of dysfunction in the undergraduate medical education (UME) to graduate medical education (GME) transition.
Applied Psychological Measurement: Volume 46, issue 6, page(s) 529-547
The current simulation study demonstrated that the sampling variance associated with the item response theory (IRT) item parameter estimates can help detect outliers in the common items under the 2-PL and 3-PL IRT models. The results showed the proposed sampling variance statistic (SV) outperformed the traditional displacement method with cutoff values of 0.3 and 0.5 along a variety of evaluation criteria.
Educational Measurement: Issues and Practices: Volume 41 - Issue 1 - Pages 95-96
Often unanticipated situations arise that can create a range of problems from threats to score validity, to unexpected financial costs, and even longer-term reputational damage. This module discusses some of these unusual challenges that usually occur in a credentialing program.
Academic Medicine: Volume 97 - Issue 2 - Pages 262-270
This study examined shifts in U.S. medical student interactions with EHRs during their clinical education, 2012–2016, and how these interactions varied by clerkship within and across medical schools.
Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners: January 2022 - Volume 34 - Issue 1 - p 78-88
The purpose of this study was to develop and examine the initial factor structure of a novel instrument that measures NNPRT.
