ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
The primary objective of this study was to compare faculty assessment and third year students' self-assessment of performance in clinical case discussions. The secondary objective was to evaluate if student characteristics influence self-assessments.METHODS:
This retrospective analysis compared faculty and student self-assessment scores for two clinical case discussions using Spearman's correlation and Wilcoxon's signed ranks test. Chi-squared test was used to compare frequency of faculty and student self-assessments indicating the highest possible rating for the pooled score and for each individual component. The pooled score included three individual components level of engagement, quality of contribution, and professionalism.RESULTS:
Pooled faculty and student self-assessments correlated for both the first (r = 0.41, p < 0.001) and second (r = 0.35; p < 0.001) clinical case discussions. The frequency that faculty and student self-assessment ratings were the highest possible pooled score was similar for both the first (51.3% vs. 44.7%, respectively, p = 0.25) and second (58.6% vs. 47.4%, p = 0.05) clinical case discussions. Student characteristics (age, gender, and grade point average at graduation) did not influence self-assessments.CONCLUSIONS:
Students' self-assessment correlated with faculty assessment of performance during clinical case discussions. Increased use of self-assessments for professional development in pharmacy and other healthcare professional curricula should be considered.
