Abstract:
Learners across the medical education continuum will encounter numerous high-stakes exams and assessments. Effectively preparing for and performing well on these types of assessments can be challenging for learners for a wide variety of reasons. It is imperative that medical educators provide appropriate support for learners who experience challenges with high-stakes exams, particularly given the complexity of factors like life circumstances of individual learners and the significance of these assessments for career advancement/progression. Grouped into areas including educator mindset, information-gathering, and developing and executing a study plan, the following 12 tips will help medical educators be better prepared to meaningfully support learners in need of assessment remediation and guidance.
