http://www.mcw.edu/display/docid9233.htmEach tool was explicitly designed to address at least 2 ACGME competencies beyond medical knowledge and patient care and includes an Instructor's Guide, a Q & A sheet, a Scoring Key, and a video trigger. For example, one trigger presents a phone conversation between a patient's son and the physician regarding the mental status of his father who has a history of memory loss and depression. Residents are asked questions about: (1) diagnostic strategies for dementia (Medical Knowledge); (2) factors influencing interpretation of test results (PBL&I); (3) communication between physician and family (Communication and Professionalism).
Exams:
Increased knowledge and application of skills based on the ACGME competencies. Learners should be able to identify the ACGME six core competencies as applied to their daily clinical experiences.
The OSVE toolkits have gone through multiple pilots, residents, medical students, and faculty (residency programs both regional, local, and national audiences).
