Using language to evaluate curricular impact: a novel approach in assessing clinical reasoning curricula.

Objectives: Published clinical reasoning curricula are limited, and measuring curricular impact has proven difficult. This study aims to evaluate the impact of a broad-reaching, multi-level reasoning curricula by measuring utilization of clinical reasoning terminology in published abstracts.

Methods: In 2014, the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) created a clinical reasoning curriculum with interventions at the student, resident, and faculty levels with the goal of bringing reasoning education to the forefront.

Medical language matters: impact of clinical summary composition on a generative artificial intelligence's diagnostic accuracy.

Objectives: Evaluate the impact of problem representation (PR) characteristics on Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) diagnostic accuracy.

Methods: Internal medicine attendings and residents from two academic medical centers were given a clinical vignette and instructed to write a PR. Deductive content analysis described the characteristics comprising each PR.

Characteristics differentiating problem representation synthesis between novices and experts.

Background: Formulating a thoughtful problem representation (PR) is fundamental to sound clinical reasoning and an essential component of medical education. Aside from basic structural recommendations, little consensus exists on what characterizes high-quality PRs.

Objectives: To elucidate characteristics that distinguish PRs created by experts and novices.

Undergraduate College Pathway Programs Designed to Attract and Matriculate Students from Underrepresented Groups into Medicine.

Objectives: Undergraduate college pathway (or pipeline) programs support students' interests as they explore advanced degree and career pathways. Many programs aim to diversify the medical workforce by reducing barriers that may have otherwise prevented desired academic and career goals; however, variability in structure, expectations, benefits, and outcome data exist. This systematic review was conducted to identify and evaluate undergraduate college pathway programs designed to increase the diversity of medical school matriculants.
