Using Expert Models to Provide Feedback on Clinical Reasoning Skills

摘要

Effective feedback is necessary to support expertise development in clinical reasoning. Technology-rich environments (TREs) often use expert models as one means of providing this feedback. A review of empirical studies showed 3 different types of expert models in TREs: outcome models, process models, and dynamic models. This paper presents examples of each of these models and discusses their implications for the future design of feedback mechanisms to support clinical reasoning development through self-assessment.
