Coderre, Sylvain; Jenkins, Deirdre; Mclaughlin, Kevin – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2009
Diagnosing is a knowledge-based skill: to diagnose one must retrieve knowledge from long-term memory and then apply this to a new clinical problem. Prior research on expertise found differences in knowledge structure between experts and novices, and it is assumed that the superior diagnostic performance of experts is somehow related to their…

Smith, Miriam A.; Burton, William B.; Mackay, Meggan – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2009
Evidence suggests that the quality and frequency of bedside clinical examination have declined. We undertook the study to (1) determine whether intensive instruction in physical examination enhances medical student skills and (2) develop a tool to evaluate those skills using a modified observed structured clinical examination (OSCE). This was a…

Graber, Mark L. – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2009
Diagnostic error typically involves both system-related and cognitive root causes. Educational interventions are proposed to address both of these dimensions: In regard to system-related origins, education should focus on communication skills, including handoffs. In regard to cognitive shortcomings, educators need to consider both normative…
