A Simple and Sustainable Exercise to Enhance Student Self-Reflection on Error-Making, Focus Support, and Guide Curricular Design.

Self-reflection is a critical component of professional development and clinical practice, but medical students' ability to self-reflect is typically limited. While inadequate self-reflection impacts future clinical decision-making, it may also adversely impact current learning through an inability to identify learning-behavior deficits. This may be exacerbated by common use of multiple-choice questions (MCQ) where incorrect responses provide less insight than other measures for students, faculty, or academic support.
