Background And Objectives: New standards announced in 2017 could increase the failure rate for Step 2 Clinical Skills (CS). The purpose of this study was to identify student performance metrics associated with risk of failing.
Methods: Data for 1,041 graduates of one medical school from 2014 through 2017 were analyzed, including 30 (2.
Purpose: To examine the contribution of students' gender and ethnicity to assessments by simulated patients (SPs) of medical students' empathy, and to compare the results with students' self-assessments of their own empathy.
Method: In 2008, the authors used three different tools to assess the empathy of 248 third-year medical students. Students completed the Jefferson Scale of Physician Empathy (JSPE), and SPs completed the Jefferson Scale of Patient Perceptions of Physician Empathy (JSPPPE) and a global rating of empathy (GRE) in 10 objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) encounters.
Background: Empathy is necessary for communication between patients and physicians to achieve optimal clinical outcomes.
Aim: To examine associations between Simulated Patients' (SPs) assessment of medical students' empathy and the students' self-reported empathy.
Methods: A total of 248 third-year medical students completed the Jefferson Scale of Physician Empathy (JSPE).
Background And Purpose: Questions remain about the congruence between students' written notes and checklists as summaries of encounters.
Methods: Students examined standardized patients and summarized findings in postencounter notes. The patients completed checklists.
