  • Stepping Back

    Open AccessRebecca L Toonkel, Arnyce R Pock et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2025

    Although most students complete Step 1 before clerkships, some institutions delay the exam until after clerkships. The change to pass/fail grading adds additional complexity that should be considered when deciding about exam timing. Both early and late administration may affect learning outcomes, learner behavior, student well-being, and residency match success. Step 1 completion before clerkships promotes learning outcomes (e.g., integration and…

  • Using Natural Language Processing to Evaluate the Quality of Supervisor Narrative Comments in Competency-Based Medical Education

  • Assessing Correlations Between Competency Ratings and Assessment-Specific Global Rating Scores Across Seven Core Clinical Clerkships at the University of Michigan Medical School

    Open AccessKorynne DeCloux, Gregory Hoy et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2023

    Purpose: A major challenge in implementing competency-based medical education (CBME) in undergraduate medical education (UME) is that students are assessed in a wide range of contexts and learning environments. These diverse learning environments may emphasize development of certain competencies more than others. This may be particularly true of the core clerkships, where students encounter a broad spectrum of medical disciplines, each with its o…

  • Perceptions and emotions about learning and assessment

    Open AccessSeetha U MonradARTICLEMedical Education2022

    This commentary explores the role and rationale for collecting data on the emotional impact of education, particularly assessment, as part of program evaluation

  • A Second Chance for Learning and Wellness

    Suzy McTaggart, Eric Wilson et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2021

    Assessments are not only tools for measuring mastery of medical knowledge but also powerful promoters of learning and retention. 1,2 However, high-stakes assessments are associated with anxiety and psychological distress in medical students. 3 We describe and present preliminary outcomes for a novel preclinical assessment approach (second-chance quizzing [SCQ]), grounded in principles of assessment for learning and test-enhanced learning, 4,5 but…

  • What faculty write versus what students see? Perspectives on multiple-choice questions using Bloom’s taxonomy

    Seetha U Monrad, Nikki L Bibler Zaidi et al.ARTICLEMedical Teacher2021

    BACKGROUND: Using revised Bloom's taxonomy, some medical educators assume they can write multiple choice questions (MCQs) that specifically assess higher (analyze, apply) versus lower-order (recall) learning. The purpose of this study was to determine whether three key stakeholder groups (students, faculty, and education assessment experts) assign MCQs the same higher- or lower-order level. METHODS: In Phase 1, stakeholders' groups assigned 90 MC…

  • The critical role of infrastructure and organizational culture in implementing competency-based education and individualized pathways in undergraduate medical education

    Open AccessKimberly D Lomis, George C Mejicano et al.ARTICLEMedical Teacher2021

    In 2010, several key works in medical education predicted the changes necessary to train modern physicians to meet current and future challenges in health care, including the standardization of learning outcomes paired with individualized learning processes. The reframing of a medical expert as a flexible, adaptive team member and change agent, effective within a larger system and responsive to the community's needs, requires a new approach to ed…

  • University of Michigan Medical School

    Michelle Daniel, Seetha U Monrad et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2020

    Medical Education Program Highlights The University of Michigan Medical School (UMMS) was founded in 1850. For much of its existence, the curriculum followed a traditional Flexnerian model. Over time, the preclinical curriculum shortened, and the clinical curriculum lengthened. In 2016, the curricular structure inverted. A 17 + 12 + 12-month model transitioned to a 12 + 12 + 17-month model to provide a robust integrated foundation with early clin…

  • Managing expansions in medical students’ clinical placements caused by curricular transformation

    Open AccessJeff Kraakevik, Gary L Beck Dallaghan et al.ARTICLEMedical Education Online2020

    Many challenges could occur that result in the need to handle an increase in the number of medical student clinical placements, such as curricular transformations or viral pandemics, such as COVID 19. Here, we describe four different institutions' approaches to addressing the impact of curricular transformation on clerkships using an implementation science lens. Specifically, we explore four different approaches to managing the 'bulge' as classes…

  • Creating assessments as an active learning strategy

    Open AccessJoshua Kurtz, Michael A Lourie et al.ARTICLEMedical Education Online2019

    Background : Teaching students how to create assessments, such as those involving multiple-choice questions (MCQs), has the potential to be a useful active learning strategy. In order to optimize students' learning, it is essential to understand how they engage with such activities. Objective : To explore medical students' perceptions of how completing rigorous MCQ training and subsequently writing MCQs affects their learning. Design : In this mi…
