Clinical reasoning is a complex process whereby psychologists review a large amount of data to generate diagnostic conclusions. Limited research has studied clinical reasoning specific to psychoeducational assessment. In this study, we used a think-aloud protocol to examine trainees' and licensed practitioners' clinical reasoning as they completed…

A growing concern in graduate medical education (GME), research indicates that some graduating residents are unprepared to enter unsupervised practice. The aim of this qualitative phenomenological study is to illuminate the resident experience surrounding the development of autonomy in clinical decision making relative to teaching practices.…

In this study, the researcher explored the lived experiences of clinical supervisors working in the field. The supervisors' experiences were collected via interviews as they reflected on their work supervising counselors seeking state licensure. They also responded to a demographic questionnaire. The participants were asked about their interest in…

Context: Professional identity development in professional master's (PM) athletic training students occurs over time and is influenced by numerous socializing factors. Although socialization processes of athletic training students have been examined, professional identity development related to the Weidman et al graduate and professional student…

Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are systemic evidence-based recommendations devised to assist healthcare workers in standardizing and improving patient care quality. Despite CPG's ability to bridge evidence to practice, adherence occurs only 36% of the time. A barrier to CPG uptake is a lack of formal education and training. Evidence indicates…

The purpose of this scoping review was to explore how errors are conceptualized in medical education contexts by examining different error perspectives and practices. This review used a scoping methodology with a systematic search strategy to identify relevant studies, written in English, and published before January 2021. Four medical education…

Context: In previous research, athletic trainers (ATs) have identified the formal coursework and clinical experiences of their professional program as contributing to preparedness for autonomous practice. However, new graduates have reported a perceived lack of skills necessary for practicing autonomously. Objective: The purpose of this study was…

Medical students' feedback orientation (their attitudes about and preferences for feedback from preceptors) may change over the course of the third year of medical school and is likely influenced by identity-related factors. This study proposed that both how students view themselves personally (i.e., impostor syndrome) and how they view themselves…

The purpose of this mixed methods study was to determine how communication evaluation by clinical faculty compared in a clinical setting versus a simulation setting for Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) students. Fifty (50) BSN students from three different schools of nursing were scored using the Interprofessional Situation, Background,…

Clinical immersion experiences provide engineering students with opportunities to identify unmet user needs and to interact with clinical professionals. These experiences have become common features of undergraduate biomedical engineering curricula, with many published examples in the literature. There are, however, few or no published studies…

Standardized patient encounters are being utilized more often in occupational therapy education as a replacement for traditional fieldwork. While there is a growing body of research to support the use of this model in developing student skillsets and confidence, there remains limited information on the topic, and no studies which look at its use…

This study examined preservice teacher coursework and experiences related to student trauma, classroom management, and self-care during a junior-year clinical placement (N = 25), as well as through follow-up interviews with a subgroup of participants one year later (N = 8). An inductive, thematic analysis led to the identification of four broad…

This study examined whether athletic training students in a four-year undergraduate entry-level accredited athletic training program in a postsecondary institution perceived the PEARLS model as effective in providing feedback. Although students look to the feedback process to help them better understand their skill and performance level when…

Simulation is an educational strategy in nursing education that incorporates structured activities that depict real-life situations to develop and enhance the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of nursing students by allowing them to analyze and initiate interventions for realistic situations in a simulated environment. Debriefing is a reflective…

The Next Generation NCLEX (NGN) tests nursing graduates' clinical judgment based on the Clinical Judgment Measurement Model (CJMM). Faculty are facing challenges because based on Benner's Novice to Expert conceptual model, nursing students are novices and therefore do not possess intuitive clinical judgment due to lacking clinical experience.…
