Abstract
Background: Clinical reasoning is a fundamental skill in medical and allied health professions. Implementation of the evidence-based “think aloud” method (i.e. describing cognitive processes through verbalization) for teaching clinical reasoning has been variable due to time and resource constraints in healthcare education. Materials & Methods: To explore the feasibility of implementing the think aloud method for teaching clinical reasoning, we piloted a flipped-classroom model of instruction to free live-synchronous educational time in a medical school clerkship. Two asynchronous web-based videos were implemented prior to synchronous case-based discussion applying the think aloud method. Performance was assessed by baseline and end-of-clerkship examination and NBME shelf exam; clinical skills by clinical evaluation; satisfaction and student learning styles by survey. Results: The flipped-curriculum was piloted in 38 students; mean age 25+2.2 years; 63% male. Baseline knowledge was low (mean baseline score 43+21%) and improved significantly (mean final score 70+23%; increase 29%, 95%CI 20-37%, p
背景:临床推理是医疗和相关卫生专业的一项基本技能。由于医疗保健教育的时间和资源限制,临床推理教学中基于证据的“大声思考”方法(即通过语言描述认知过程)的实施一直存在变数。材料与方法:为探索在临床推理教学中实施有声思维教学法的可行性,我们在一所医学院实习中试点了一种翻转课堂教学模式,以腾出实时同步教学时间。在应用出声思考方法进行同步基于案例的讨论之前,实现了两个基于web的异步视频。通过基线、终职考试和NBME货架考试评估绩效;临床技能考核;满意度与学生学习风格的调查。结果:38名学生参与了翻转课程试点;平均年龄25岁+2.2岁;63%的男性。基线知识较低(平均基线得分43+21%),显著改善(平均最终得分70+23%;增加29%,95%CI 20-37%, p
