The relationship between script concordance test scores in an obste rics-gynecology rotation and global performance assessments in the curriculum

摘要

Objectives: To determine the relationship between script concordance test scores obtained at the end of clerkship rotation in ob-gyn and global performance measures for the entire curriculum as expressed by a preclinical and clerkship score in the Dean’s Letter. The relationship also considered two other existing instruments.MethodsA cross-sectional study was carried out on a convenience sample of 129 clerkship students. Three instruments (Script Concordance Test, Key-Features Examinations and In-Training Report) were used to assess clinical reasoning. Data were collected from four Montreal University Hospitals at the end of four consecutive obstetrics and gynecology rotations. The data pertaining to the Dean’s Letter were collected at the end of the clerkship training period.
