Background: In the interests of patient health outcomes, it is important for medical students to develop clinical communication skills.We previously proposed a telehealth skills training platform (EQClinic) with automated nonverbal behavior feedback students, and was able improve students' awareness their communication.Objective: This study aimed evaluate effectiveness EQClinic students. Methods:We conducted 2-group randomized crossover trial between February June 2016.Participants were...
Purpose: The objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) is considered to be one of the most robust methods assessment. One its strengths lies in ability minimise effects examiner bias due standardisation items and tasks for each candidate. However, OSCE examiners’ assessment scores are influenced by several factors that may jeopardise assumed objectivity OSCEs. To better understand this phenomenon, current review aims determine describe important sources affecting assessments. Methods:...
Background: Educators utilize real patients, simulated patients (SP), and student role play (RP) in communication skills training (CST) medical curricula. The chosen modality may depend more on resource availability than educational stage needs. In this study, we set out to determine whether an inexpensive volunteer SP program offered advantage compared RP for CST preclinical students. Methods: Students SPs participated interactions across two courses. allocated one course the other vice...
BackgroundDoctors' verbal and non-verbal communication skills have an impact on patients' health outcomes, so it is important for medical students to develop these skills. Traditional, training can involve a tutor manually annotating student's behaviour during patient–doctor consultations, but this very time-consuming. Tele-conference systems been used in training.MethodsWe describe EQClinic, system that enables tele-consultations with simulated patients (SPs), evaluation exercises promoting...
The biases that may influence objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) scoring are well understood, and recent research has attempted to establish the magnitude of their impact. However, examiner experience, seniority, occupation on communication physical scores in OSCEs not yet been clearly established.We compared mean awarded for generic skills 2 undergraduate medicine relation characteristics (gender, examining occupation, speciality). statistical significance differences was...
Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems have proliferated over the recent years to point that free platforms such as YouTube now provide speech recognition services. Given wide selection of ASR systems, we contribute field automatic by comparing relative performance two sets manual transcriptions and five (Google Cloud, IBM Watson, Microsoft Azure, Trint, YouTube) help researchers select accurate transcription In addition, identify nonverbal behaviors are associated with unintelligible...
Volunteering benefits those who receive and provide help. Yet barriers can inhibit engagement with motivation for volunteering activities. Online environments on one hand help to lower some of these barriers, but the other they introduce new obstacles specially when medium transforms social interactions important volunteers. We study motivational drivers online volunteering, how are affected by design. Specifically, we focus relatedness as a source motivation. describe two studies volunteers...
Purpose: Optimal methods for communication skills training (CST) are an active research area, but the effects of CST on performance in objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs) has not been closely studied. Student roleplay (RP) is common, although volunteer simulated patient (SP) cost-effective and provides authentic interactions. We assessed whether our SP program improved OSCE compared to previous RP strategy. Methods: performed a retrospective, quasi-experimental study 2...
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has required educators to adapt the in-person objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) online settings in order for it remain a critical component of multifaceted assessment student’s competency. This systematic scoping review aimed summarize methods and validity reliability measurement tools used current OSCE (hereafter, referred as teleOSCE) approaches. A comprehensive literature was undertaken following Preferred Reporting Items...
Purpose Serious games (SGs) have great potential for pediatric medical education. This study evaluated the efficacy of a SG in improving learner satisfaction, knowledge, and behavior.
Purpose: Peer physical examination (PPE), by which junior medical students learn skills before practicing on patients, is a widely implemented and accepted part of curricula. However, the ethical implications PPE have been debated, since issues including student gender impact its acceptability. Research has previously demonstrated phenomenon ‘attitude-behavior inconsistency’ showing that students’ predictions about their participation in differ from what they actually do practice. This study...
Purpose: It aimed to compare the use of tele-objective structured clinical examination (teleOSCE) with in-person assessment in high-stakes so as determine impact teleOSCE on undertaken. Discussion follows regarding what skills and domains can effectively be assessed a teleOSCE.Methods: This study is retrospective observational analysis. compares results achieved by final year medical students their examination, using 2020 (n=285), those who were examined traditional format 2019 (n=280). The...
Most assessments in health professions education consist of knowledge-based examinations as well practical and clinical examinations. Among the most challenging aspects is decision making related to borderline grades assigned by examiners. Borderline are commonly used examiners when they do not have sufficient information make clear pass/fail decisions. The interpretation these rarely discussed literature. This study reports application Objective Method (version 2, henceforth: OBM2) a high...
Objective Structured Clinical Exams are used to increase reliability and validity, yet they only achieve a modest level of reliability. This low is due in part examiner variance which greater than the students. often represents indecisiveness at cut score with apparent confusion over terms such as "borderline pass". It amplified by well reported failure fail. A borderline grade (meaning performance neither clear pass nor fail) was introduced high stakes undergraduate medical clinical skills...
Abstract Background There is an ongoing debate about the impact of studying medicine in rural vs. metropolitan campuses on student assessment outcomes. The UNSW Medicine Rural Clinical School has five main campuses; Albury-Wodonga, Coffs Harbour, Griffith, Port Macquarie and Wagga Wagga. Historical data outcomes at these raised concerns regarding potential biases undertaken, as well availability quality learning resources. current study aims to identify extent which location examination...
Good communication and rapport between patients doctors is important to achieve positive health outcomes. Mimicry, when a person copies the behavior of someone else, has been related good building rapport. We develop method automatically detect non-verbal mimicry study relationship perceived quality interaction. Automating detection since it may be proxy for empathy perspective taking, both features high interactions caring professions. This pilot involved 91 sessions medical students...

Volunteerism in the digital age offers many new possibilities and avenues for public participation. In this paper, we discuss volunteering as a form of work how certain experiential aspects HCI systems supporting volunteers' unpaid labour are instrumental volunteer wellbeing. The sense feeling close to others experiencing relatedness is an important factor that can predict engagement wellbeing volunteers. Relatedness be achieved ways, instance, through expressing receiving gratitude. Through...
