Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Clinical Skills Training
  • Healthcare Decision Making

Background:

  • Assessing decision-making capacity is a crucial clinical skill for medical professionals.
  • Existing curricula may not adequately prepare medical students for capacity assessments.
  • Standardized tools and effective teaching methods are needed to improve competency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness and student satisfaction of a novel curriculum designed to teach decision-making capacity assessment.
  • To introduce an innovative communication checklist for capacity assessment in medical education.

Main Methods:

  • Curriculum development followed Kern's six-step approach.
  • A modified Delphi method was used to create a communication checklist.
  • The curriculum was implemented over an academic year for psychiatry clerkship students.
  • Knowledge and comfort levels were assessed via pre- and posttests; satisfaction was gauged through feedback.

Main Results:

  • Significant improvements in mean knowledge scores (3.5 to 6.1, p < 0.001) were observed.
  • Student comfort levels with capacity assessment increased substantially (11% to 89%, p < 0.001).
  • Student feedback indicated positive ratings for the curriculum and its components.

Conclusions:

  • The developed curriculum effectively enhanced medical students' knowledge and self-reported comfort in decision-making capacity assessment.
  • Health professions educators can adopt this curriculum to foster competency in this essential clinical skill.
  • The capacity communication skills checklist serves as a valuable resource for both learning and evaluation.
