The script concordance test as a tool to evaluate clinical reasoning in neonatology
Background:
Script concordance test aims to evaluate knowledge organization, which represents an essential component of the clinical competence.
Objective:
To build a script concordance test and demonstrate its relevance in the evaluation of Neonatology skills.
Methods:
A script concordance test including 20 vignettes and 20 items, was provided to 52 fourth year medical students and 11 family medicine interns.
Results:
Script concordance test scores obtained by experts were higher then those obtained by students and family medicine interns. The scores (out of 100) were 82.52 ± 7.35 CI95% [77.26-87.78] for the experts, 58.52 ± 9.72 CI95% [55.82-61.23] for the students, and 63.17±11.36 IC95% [55.53-70.81] (p<0.0001) for the interns.
Conclusion:
Our data suggest that script concordance tests could be used to assess the acquisition of clinical reasoning among fourth year medical students in neonatolgy.
