Institutions: Mayo Clinic
Background

The aim of preclinical medical education is to provide a clinical decision making framework.  Students gain differential diagnosis skills that often are graded without a standard rubric. Without guidelines, difficulty remains about whether or not educational interventions improve differential diagnosis skills.

Conclusion

Graders used the live document on a regular basis and found it to be a helpful learning resource and a time-saving intervention.

Graders developed a standardized differential diagnosis grid with a 0, 1 or 2 point grading system. The grid was posted on a live Google document where graders could see what others had given and give feedback about any discrepancies. This allowed graders to gain consensus on answers and compare personal opinions.
