Collecting Validity Evidence: A Hands-on Workshop for Medical Education Assessment Instruments.

Introduction: There is an increasing call for developing validity evidence in medical education assessment. The literature lacks a practical resource regarding an actual development process. Our workshop teaches how to apply principles of validity evidence to existing assessment instruments and how to develop new instruments that will yield valid data.

Innovation to Dissemination Workshop: Selecting Outcome Measures to Translate Educational Innovations Into Scholarship.

Introduction: Curricular innovations are invaluable to the improvement of medical education programs, and thus, their dissemination to broader audiences is imperative. However, medical educators often struggle to translate innovative ideas into scholarly pursuits due to a lack of experience or expertise in selecting outcome measures that demonstrate impact. A recent national call for increased focus on outcome measures for medical education research highlights the need for more training in this area.

Medical Student Participation in Patient- and Family-Centered Rounding: A National Survey of Pediatric Clerkships.

We surveyed national pediatrics clerkships to determine the prevalence of PFCR and the proportion providing orientation in order to inform a needs assessment for PFCR orientation.
