Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Neurology
  • Clinical Assessment

Background:

  • Clinical judgment is crucial for medical decision-making, especially in uncertain neurological localization (NL) and neurological emergencies (NE).
  • Existing methods for assessing clinical judgment in these areas are limited.
  • A validated assessment tool for clinical judgment in NL and NE was needed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and validate a script concordance test (SCT) for assessing clinical judgment in neurological localization and neurological emergencies.
  • To evaluate the SCT's reliability and validity in differentiating between various levels of clinical experience.

Main Methods:

  • A script concordance test (SCT) was developed, featuring 14 clinical scenarios with 53 questions.
  • Undergraduate medical students and internal medicine residents completed the SCT.
  • Responses were scored against an expert-derived key, with scores expressed as percentages.

Main Results:

  • Experts achieved the highest mean scores (76.6%), followed by residents (68.3%) and undergraduates (61.0%).
  • Scores for neurological localization and neurological emergencies showed similar trends across groups.
  • Senior residents scored significantly higher than junior residents, supporting the SCT's construct validity.
  • The SCT demonstrated acceptable reliability with a G coefficient of 0.74.

Conclusions:

  • The developed SCT is a validated, reliable, generalizable, and feasible tool for assessing clinical judgment in neurological localization and emergencies.
  • The SCT shows potential as a valuable adjunct assessment for clinical judgment in medical education.
  • Future development of SCTs for other neurology topics and multi-center studies are planned.
