Summary

Most clinical reasoning assessments focus on outcomes instead of the underlying cognitive reasoning processes, missing key factors that affect diagnostic accuracy. This pilot study offers initial psychometric support for using the Objective Structured Clinical Examination on Clinical Reasoning (OSCE-CR) to measure and give feedback on clinical reasoning steps linked to accurate diagnosis. The OSCE-CR helps students practice these essential reasoning behaviors, aiming to enhance skills and reduce diagnostic errors.
