Session Overview
UME curricula vary by class year and across institutions, but it is always critical to introduce clinical reasoning early in your program. Figuring out when and how to fold in clinical reasoning instruction and assessment can be difficult given the challenges of ensuring deliberate practice for learners.
NEJM Healer, a new screen-based clinical reasoning application from the publishers of the New England Journal of Medicine, provides focused deliberate practice with objective and targeted feedback. NEJM Healer can assist UME educators in preparing students for real clinical experiences and, ultimately, achieving better patient outcomes as independent professionals.
After this webinar, attendees will have a better understanding of:
-
Using cases to teach clinical reasoning in both traditional lecture and flipped classroom environments
-
Utilizing virtual patients as formative and summative assessments to identify the need for and provide remediation in clinical reasoning for individual students
-
Embedding clinical reasoning education and deliberate practice in the pre-clinical and clinical phases of your curriculum
-
Employing NEJM Healer, which is founded on state-of-the-art cognitive science models of clinical reasoning, as a valuable tool for teaching, assessing, and supporting your students
