Clinical supervisors are known to assess trainee performance idiosyncratically, causing concern about the validity of their ratings. The literature on this issue relies heavily on retrospective collection of decisions, resulting in the risk of inaccurate information regarding what actually drives raters' perceptions. Capturing in-the-moment…

Understanding the rural intentions of medical students has the potential to improve the effective allocation of rural clinical placements, the demand for which regularly exceeds availability. Longitudinal studies on students' rural intentions have been published but a refined understanding of the spectrum of intentions is absent in the literature.…

Context: Although catastrophic injuries are rare, athletic trainers must be ready for emergencies. It is unknown how athletic training students (ATSs) are prepared for postcritical incident management. Objective: To explore the perceived availability and helpfulness of resources available to ATSs after critical incidents. Design: Qualitative.…

The research objective of this qualitative study was to discern a new purpose for provision of support to autistic individuals that would thoroughly eschew harmful normalization, which was the traditional purpose of all types of support for hundreds of years. Clinical practice and special education are moving toward a neurodiversity-affirming…

The purpose of this scoping review was to explore how errors are conceptualized in medical education contexts by examining different error perspectives and practices. This review used a scoping methodology with a systematic search strategy to identify relevant studies, written in English, and published before January 2021. Four medical education…

Participation in clinical work is important for medical students' professional development. However, students often report that they experience a passive observer role, and further research on contextual factors that influence student participation is needed. The theory of practice architectures contributes a new perspective to this challenge by…

Clinical supervisors play key roles in facilitating trainee learning. Yet combining that role with patient care complicates both roles. So, we need to know how both roles can effectively co-occur. When facilitating their trainees' learning through practice, supervisors draw on their skills - clinical and supervisory - and available opportunities…

This study aims to analyze the impact of intern physicians' social interaction during teamwork, their cognitive flexibility and academic achievement on clinical reasoning. The study, designed through sequential exploratory mixed method, was carried out with 20 intern physicians working in 4 teams. The process of how they approach to the case was…

Objectives: Assessing functional impairment is one of the essential components in the clinical evaluation of ADHD in adulthood, serving both diagnostic and outcome evaluation purposes. However, clinicians and researchers may face challenges in selecting suitable instruments due to variations in accessibility and quality of instruments. Methods: We…

The rapid growth of academic occupational therapy programs in the United States, combined with an increase in senior faculty retirement, requires a new, growing, robust and well-prepared faculty workforce. In addition to the growth of programs, faculty shortages necessitate proactive strategies for preparing transitioning clinicians for successful…

Psychological assessment is an integral aspect of training in graduate school. Developing ecologically integrated and culturally sensitive diagnostic tools to support case conceptualization and differential diagnosis is critical to improving assessment practices. Nevertheless, there is a dearth of research on diagnostic training practices,…

Purpose: The OSCE is regarded as the gold standard of competence assessment in many healthcare programs, however, there are numerous internal and external sources of variation contributing to checklist marks. There is concern amongst organisers that candidates may be unfairly disadvantaged if they follow an "excellent" preceding…

Person-centered care is instrumental in the treatment of individuals with dementia. Despite this finding, research on the efficacy of training future healthcare providers to implement person-centered care for individuals with dementia is limited. Simulation-based education serves as one training method, but its effects of preparing students to…

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the impacts of using scaffolded clinical simulations on nursing students' confidence in clinical reasoning, clinical judgment, and critical thinking skills. Next, we also attempted to gain insights into students' perceptions of the benefits of scaffolded clinical simulations. Method: We used…

Purpose: The purpose of this case study is to describe a simulation-based assessment designed to assure student readiness for a first full-time clinical experience in an entry-level Doctor of Physical Therapy program that transitioned to mixed-mode instruction during the COVID-19 pandemic. Design/methodology/approach: A cohort of 40 second-year…
