Medical school assessments should foster the development of higher-order thinking skills to support clinical reasoning and a solid foundation knowledge. Multiple-choice questions (MCQs) are commonly used assess student learning, well-written MCQs can learner engagement in higher levels cognitive such as application or synthesis Bloom's taxonomy has been identify that students' critical skills, with evidence suggesting deeper conceptual understanding scientific process skills. Similarly,...
Background: Teaching students how to create assessments, such as those involving multiple-choice questions (MCQs), has the potential be a useful active learning strategy. In order optimize students' learning, it is essential understand they engage with activities.Objective: To explore medical perceptions of completing rigorous MCQ training and subsequently writing MCQs affects their learning.Design: this mixed methods exploratory qualitative study, eighteen second-year students, trained in...
Background Using revised Bloom's taxonomy, some medical educators assume they can write multiple choice questions (MCQs) that specifically assess higher (analyze, apply) versus lower-order (recall) learning. The purpose of this study was to determine whether three key stakeholder groups (students, faculty, and education assessment experts) assign MCQs the same higher- or level.Methods In Phase 1, stakeholders' assigned 90 levels. 2, faculty wrote 25 intended as lower-order. Then, 10 students...
Multiple-choice question (MCQ) examinations represent a primary mode of assessment used by medical schools. It can be challenging for faculty to produce content-aligned, comprehensive, and psychometrically sound MCQs. Despite best efforts, sometimes there are unexpected issues with examinations. Assessment practices lack systematic way address gaps when actual expected outcomes do not align.The authors propose using root cause analysis (RCA) systematically review educational outcomes. Using...

Purpose: Though national discussions surrounding marginalized populations and health inequities have never been more prevalent or timely, medical education has not yet adequately addressed its own role in precipitating disparities. 1 There is increased recognition literature among educators that a lack of intersectional justice concepts curricula contributes to injustice, as well promotes culture deprioritizes through both macro- microaggressions. 2,3 Faculty are becoming aware these issues;...
OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The “hidden curriculum” is a set of unofficial rules outside the formal curriculum that allows medical students to succeed. It often not accessible those who are first-generation in medicine. This study created novel survey tool directly evaluate hidden curriculum, its contributing factors, and effects on students. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Using available literature as guide, different aspects was created. consists 17 Likert scale questions topics varying from sense...
