Teaching Diagnostic Reasoning to Faculty Using an Assessment for Learning Tool: Training the Trainer

Introduction There is a need for a standardized approach to understand and assess clinical reasoning in medical learners. The Assessment of Reasoning Tool was developed based on prevalent theories and frameworks using a multidisciplinary expert panel. As the tool provides a standardized rubric for a...

The Assessment of Reasoning Tool was developed based on prevalent theories and frameworks using a multidisciplinary expert panel. As the tool provides a standardized rubric for assessing clinical reasoning, we designed an interactive train-the-trainer workshop for clinical educators and education leaders interested in improving their teaching skills and/or introducing curricula surrounding diagnostic reasoning. Methods In this workshop, participants were exposed to the major domains of diagnostic reasoning and how to apply it to the assessment of a learner's skills. Kolb's experiential learning was the underlying model, which we showcased by using multiple interactive techniques, including small-group discussion, peer sharing, and case practice. We presented the workshop at a national conference of pediatric educators and as a faculty development workshop at a single institution. Participants were asked to complete a survey after the workshop to gauge their reactions and look for areas of improvement. Results A total of 34 participants attended the two workshops. Participants rated the workshop favorably, with most planning to make a change to their practice. Comments were largely positive, emphasizing the benefits of the interactive approach. Discussion The workshop and teaching materials represent an important early step in the workplace-based assessment of diagnostic reasoning in medical learners.
