Evaluation of Compliance of the Case-Based Multistation Electronic Internal Medicine Exam with National Core Curriculum-2014
Abstract
Methods: The study was conducted between May-December 2019 with 289 Year-6 medical students at the end of Internal Medicine internship period. Questions of the case-based multistation electronic exam were prepared by Internist faculty members. In total, 5 exams were carried out using SocrativeTM to give immediate feedback. Every exam consisted of 3 cases. End of all the exams, questions of cases were categorized in the classes of anamnesis, physical examination, pre-diagnosis, laboratory findings, treatment. Compliance with the National Core Curriculum-2014 was evaluated.
Results: In total, 14 cases and 74 questions nested in cases were evaluated. 26 (35.1%) of the questions were about laboratory findings. 16 (21.6%) of the questions were under treatment class. In 13 (92.8%) of the cases, there was at least a question expects higher levels than National Core Curriculum-2014. Out of 74 questions, 31 (41.8%) of them assessed higher levels than National Core Curriculum-2014. Mean scores of the students were significantly lower at questions that assess higher levels than National Core Curriculum-2014 (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Faculty members do not take into consideration National Core Curriculum-2014. This poses a serious threat since assessment drives learning. Faculty development on National Core Curriculum and assessment could be a solution.
