Acquisition of medical expertise

Acquisition of medical expertise (In collaboration with Prof. Arnaud Perrier, Dre Martine Louis-Simonet, and Prof. Nu V. Vu - UDREM) Research assistants: Mme Anne Gut, Dre Andrea Rudaz

Despite technological advances, the collection of clinical data from the patient through history taking and physical examination remains a major component of the diagnostic process. If this process is sub-optimal, errors may occur.

We aim to precise strategies in clinical data collection that may vary, according to clinical experience. We want to test whether training these strategies while teaching the clinical content and increasing the students' awareness of such strategies may improve clinical competence.

We also study the reliability and validity of several ways to build the gold-standards to assess clinical competence. Finally, we explore the influence of the learning context on the clinical competence, such as learning in a clinical environment as opposed to learning on a paper vignette. We also explore the relationship between competencies in reasoning and competencies in patient-doctor communication, as well as the longitudinal impact of pregraduate training in patient-doctor communication.
