Decalogue for ensuring mediocrity of health care professions students and patient unsafety
This satirical commentary outlines 10 ironic commandments designed to highlight flaws in current health professions education practices. Through exaggerated emphasis on rote memorization, neglect of clinical reasoning and prioritization of grades over true understanding, the piece critiques practices that foster superficial knowledge and professional stagnation. Additional commandments target the culture of burnout, disregard for interprofessiona…
Commentary to concerns regarding the assessment of clinical reasoning in medical students
Dear EditorWe thank Supianto [1] for the thoughtful remarks on Hornos et al. [2]. We welcome the opportunity to clarify our methodological choices and findings.We respectfully disagree with the ass
Challenges and insights in the measurement of clinical reasoning skills
Dear EditorAmong the original contributions in the recent paper from Hornos et al. (2024), the introduction of cognitive diagnostic modelling (CDM) as an alternative to unidimensional item response
Reliability, validity and acceptability of an online clinical reasoning simulator for medical students
INTRODUCTION: Clinical reasoning skills are essential for decision-making. Current assessment methods are limited when testing clinical reasoning and management of uncertainty. This study evaluates the reliability, validity and acceptability of Practicum Script, an online simulation-based programme, for developing medical students' clinical reasoning skills using real-life cases. METHODS: = 1502 students completing at least 80% of cases). Classic…
Utility of a multimodal computer-based assessment format for assessment with a higher degree of reliability and validity
Multiple choice questions (MCQs) suffer from cueing, item quality and factual knowledge testing. This study presents a novel multimodal test containing alternative item types in a computer-based assessment (CBA) format, designated as Proxy-CBA. The Proxy-CBA was compared to a standard MCQ-CBA, regarding validity, reliability, standard error of measurement, and cognitive load, using a quasi-experimental crossover design. Biomedical students were r…
