Learning-by-Concordance of Perception: A Novel way to Learn to Read Thoracic Images.

Rationale And Objective: Learning to interpret thoracic images requires intensive instructor support. Given current cohort sizes at teaching hospitals in North America, instructor availability is rare. A Learning-by-concordance of perception (LbCP) online tool was introduced in a second-year course on lung and oxygenation.

Learning-by-Concordance (LbC): introducing undergraduate students to the complexity and uncertainty of clinical practice.

Background: A current challenge in medical education is the steep exposure to the complexity and uncertainty of clinical practice in early clerkship. The gap between pre-clinical courses and the reality of clinical decision-making can be overwhelming for undergraduate students. The Learning-by-Concordance (LbC) approach aims to bridge this gap by embedding complexity and uncertainty by relying on real-life situations and exposure to expert reasoning processes to support learning.

The Script Concordance Test: a new tool assessing clinical judgement in neurology.

Background: Clinical judgment, the ability to make appropriate decisions in uncertain situations, is central to neurological practice, but objective measures of clinical judgment in neurology trainees are lacking. The Script Concordance Test (SCT), based on script theory from cognitive psychology, uses authentic clinical scenarios to compare a trainee's judgment skills with those of experts. The SCT has been validated in several medical disciplines, but has not been investigated in neurology.
