Más información sobre el libro

The book explores the development of a formative evaluation test for paediatric orthopaedic externs, addressing discrepancies in existing assessments. It details a prospective study involving 42 externs, utilizing two linear PMPs focused on diagnosing and managing febrile lameness and septic arthritis. The study found significant improvements in clinical reasoning skills, as evidenced by the statistical analysis of pre- and post-test results. These findings support the effectiveness of continuous assessment methods in enhancing the learning experience for orthopaedic interns.
