Prof. Dr. Lifshitz: “Structuring diagnostic and therapeutic thinking is an unsolved pedagogical need”

Prof. Dr. Alberto Lifshitz, a recognized Mexican medical educator, "shares the view that diagnosis by analogy, which is the most often taught, is insufficient." In his opinion, confronting uncertainty, "is not a very well understood subject by hard scientists", but it is the ideal scenario. 

 

Dr. Prof. Freeman: “Assessments should not be only of learning but also for learning”

Dr Prof Adrian Freeman is an expert in medical education and president of the European Board of Medical Assessors (EBMA), an organization that audited the Practicum Script simulator a year ago. His conversation with Practicum Script suggests that timing and international vocation are the tool’s main credits.

Prof Collares explains EBMA’s endorsement of Practicum Script: “Beyond measuring knowledge, it stresses significant learning”

In November 2017, the European Board of Medical Assessors (EBMA) endorsed the Practicum Script clinical case simulator as a useful platform to implement clinical reasoning. We talk to the psychometrist Carlos Collares to know more about the education impact of the tool.
