Abstract

The Liaison Committee on Medical Education requires that a variety of measures including direct observation be used for the assessment of student achievement, including student’s acquisition of knowledge, core clinical skills (ie. medical history taking and physical examination), behaviors and attitudes. John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM) student surveys between 2019-2022 demonstrated that the inpatient obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) clerkship had the lowest frequency of direct observation when performing medical interviewing, physical exam and procedures compared to other JABSOM clinical clerkships. OB/GYN faculty were surveyed about directly observing medical students during the inpatient rotation. Rubrics to assess the medical students taking the history and performing pelvic examinations were developed to increase the frequency of direct observation and provide formative feedback to students. These rubrics will be piloted, implemented, and studied in the next academic year to evaluate direct observation during the inpatient OB/GYN rotation.
