  • Using neurocognitive profiles and common personality traits to predict academic success in written examination and growth trajectory in undergraduate medical education

    Ryan R Landoll, Madison F Clark et al.ARTICLEMedical Teacher2026

    Introduction A central challenge in academic remediation is identifying struggling learners prior to a major academic failure. Standardized assessments may fail to capture contributions to score more aligned with humanistic theories of learning such as motivation, psychological needs, and response to prior failure. Thus, the current study sought to understand how neurocognitive and social/personality data predict academic success and academic tra…

  • A dialogue-informed analysis of programmatic assessment implementation in an LMIC

    Mora Claramita, Anna Cianciolo et al.ARTICLEMedical Teacher2026

    Programmatic assessment (PA) is a longitudinal, learner-centered approach that integrates multiple low-stakes assessments, continuous feedback, and collective decision-making to support competency-based medical education. Although PA has been largely developed in high-income Western contexts, there is growing interest in its implementation in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where sociocultural and institutional conditions differ substan…

The aim is to assess its potential as a tool for supporting the creation of high-quality educational resources for CR training.Materials and methods We selected 10 diverse virtual patients (VPs) from the European iCoViP project. For each case, CR concept maps were generated by a custom ChatGPT mode…

  • Twelve tips for data extraction for knowledge syntheses

    Lauren A Maggio, Joseph A Costello et al.ARTICLEMedical Teacher2026

    In medical education, the number of knowledge syntheses has increased dramatically, reflecting their growth and influence on education practice, research, and policy. However, despite the availability of instruction on many of the steps of conducting knowledge syntheses, practical guidance for the critical step of data extraction is limited. Data extraction is the process of systematically identifying and collecting information from the studies i…

  • Programmatic assessment for learning

    Dario Torre, Lambert SchuwirthARTICLEMedical Teacher2025

    Programmatic assessment for learning (PAL) involves programmatically structured collection of assessment data for the purpose of learning. In this guide, we examine and provide recommendations on several aspects: First, we review the evolution that has led to the development of programmatic assessment, providing clarification of some of its terminology. Second, we outline the learning processes that guide the design of PAL, including distributed …

  • Twelve tips to afford students agency in programmatic assessment

    Open AccessJanica Jamieson, Dario TorreARTICLEMedical Teacher2025

    Programmatic assessment is gaining traction in health professions education, emphasizing continuous, integrated appraisal to support holistic student development. Despite its adoption, effectively affording student agency within programmatic assessment remains challenging due to longstanding educational practices, entrenched power dynamics and cultural norms favoring educator and institutional control. This article aims to provide strategies to p…

  • Beyond thinking fast and slow

    Andrew S Parsons, Thilan P Wijesekera et al.ARTICLEMedical Teacher2025

    From dual process to a family of theories known collectively as situativity, both micro and macro theories of cognition inform our current understanding of clinical reasoning (CR) and error. CR is a complex process that occurs in a complex environment, and a nuanced, expansive, integrated model of these theories is necessary to fully understand how CR is performed in the present day and in the future. In this perspective, we present these individ…

  • Essential concepts for effective mixed methods research in the health professions

    Alexis Battista, Dario Torre et al.ARTICLEMedical Teacher2025

    Mixed-methods research involves combining quantitative and qualitative approaches and mixing and integrating at multiple stages. It is gaining more attention and interest in health professions education research and evaluation. However, many undertake mixed-methods research for the first time without a rich understanding of the differences in practice associated with mixed-methods research. This often leads to research efforts that do not result …

  • Novice and expert self-regulated learning phase transitions in medical diagnosis

    Open AccessJuliana M A L Andres, Rachel Chapman et al.ARTICLEInstructional Science2025References: 53

    Expertise plays a significant role in shaping self-regulated learning (SRL) by influencing how individuals set goals, monitor progress, employ strategies, and reflect on their learning process. However, comprehensive data on this link is sparse in medical contexts. This paper investigates the transitions of SRL phases during clinical-reasoning tasks with a multimedia system, CresME, designed to elicit clinical-reasoning processes using illness sc…
