Medical cognition CPD Jan 25, 2024 Theme : Blooming real patient OSCEs

Medical cognition CPD 2024 focuses on the idea of ‘patient centered medical cognition’ and features fascinating and inspiring content from speakers supported by global experts, covering key areas in medicine.  

Our aim is to improve medical cognition in health profession students. 


Participants of our CPD and our case based blended learning ecosystem CBBLE learn to utilize medical cognition tools to integrate medical education and practice and eventually improve

global learning  toward local caring.

More learning objectives : https://medicinedepartment.blogspot.com/2024/01/medical-cognition-cpd-osce-thesis.html?m=1

This year's theme is "Blooming real patient OSCEs."

The theme builds on decades long medical education journey right from our first reading of this article :

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC65539/


We have learned after countless editing journeys of long case reports that real OSCEs bloom in the "discussion" section of the long case report and that discussion is Blooms level 4-6 that analyzes (level 4) the applied (level 3) case data and provides an evaluation (level 5) of the overall patient's predicament synthesizing (level 6) data collected from collective memory (level 1) of the patient's life events and outcomes comparing it with a conceptual understanding (level 2) of collective memories of other similar and dissimilar patients that insinuate our collective consciousness.  


Building on this year's theme to also develop our thesis program :


If one can get the osce right in each and every real thesis patient participant, one can easily attain the Bloom's level 6 goal of one's thesis

The apparently new OSCE we are trying to promote is hands on professional skill development in objectively structuring (OS) real patient centered subjectivity toward optimal clinical evaluation (CE) in improving real patient outcomes in real time!

There's nothing new to it as it's an age old routine real clinical workflow for every physician that often goes unsung and we are probably trying to add a song here!

PaJR daily activities (energy outputs) and food plates (energy inputs) 52M Hypertension, Diabetes 5 years WB PaJR

There are three samples of daily activities represented in Bengali in our PaJRs below:

We begin with a part of the 52M patient's case report details, which are published by our intern in the link below :



PaJR daily activities (energy outputs) and food plates (energy inputs)  52M Hypertension, Diabetes 5 years WB PaJR

৭:৩০ সাধারনতঃ সকাল সাড়ে সাতটা নাগাদ ঘুম থেকে উঠি। তারপর খালিপেটে দু-গ্লাস জল খাই। এবার হাত মুখ ধুয়ে ৫-৬টা ভেজানো কাঠবাদাম, ছোলা, কোনদিন একটু কারি পাতা, আদার টুকরো চিবিয়ে হাটতে বের হয়ে যাই। ৮:৩০ নাগাদ হেঁটে ফিরে এসে লাল চা মুড়ি খাই। তারপর ঘড়/চেম্বার পরিষ্কার, স্নান-পূজা ইত্যাদি করতে করতে বেলা দশটা বেজে যায়। 
10:00 এবার খেজুর, কলা বিভিন্ন ফল ও দুধ দিয়ে ওটস ইত্যাদি দিয়ে প্রাতঃরাশ সারি, তারপর অফিসে সহকর্মীরা সবাই এসে গেলে তাদের কাজ বুঝিয়ে দিয়ে রান্না করি। 
12:00 বারোটা নাগাদ সাধারনতঃ কিছুক্ষণের জন্য কোর্টে যেতে হয়। 
২:৩০ কোর্ট থেকে ফিরে এসে আড়াইটা নাগাদ দুপুরের খাবার খাই। ঐসময়ের পর থেকে ক্লায়েন্টগণ আসতে থাকেন তাদের সঙ্গে সময় দেই। 
৫:৩০ চা ও সামান্য জলযোগ করে আবার চেম্বারে ঢুকে যাই। 
৯:০০ রাত নটা নাগাদ রাতের রান্না করে খেয়ে নিয়ে আবার কাজে বসে যাই। কাজ শেষ হতে হতে সাধারণতঃ রাত সারে এগারোটা বেজে যায় মাঝে মাঝে রাত সারে বারোটা বা একটাও হয়ে যায় তারপর শুয়ে পড়ি। 
আবার যেদিন ৪৫ কিলোমিটার দূরে জেলা শহরে পরিবারের সঙ্গে থাকি সেদিন রুটিনের কিছুটা পরিবর্ত্তন ঘটে।
৭:৩0 সকালে অসুস্থ ছেলেকে নিয়ে স্কুলে দিয়ে আসা তারপর প্রাতঃরাশ করে ওখানকার কোর্ট ও ইনকাম ট্যাক্স অফিসে যেতে হয়। ওখানেও কিছু সাংসারিক কাজও করতে হয়। এবার প্রয়োজন হলে এখানে ফিরে আসি অথবা রাতে জেলা শহরে থেকে যাই।
কিন্তু গত জুন মাস থেকে কোমরের বাঁ দিকে এবং কক্সিস অংশে ব্যাথা শুরু হবার পর থেকে কাজ কর্মে প্রচন্ড ব্যাঘাত ঘটছে। বসতে বেশ কষ্ট হচ্ছে, চেয়ারের পেছনে একটা কুশন নিয়ে বসতে হচ্ছে তাতেও স্বাচ্ছন্দ পাচ্ছি না। চেয়ার থেকে উঠলে বেশ কিছুক্ষণ সোজা হতে পারছি না। বেশ কিছুটা পরে একটু হাঁটলে তবে কিছুটা স্বাভাবিক হয়। গাড়ি চালাতেও একই সমস্যার সন্মুখিন হতে হয়। ব্যাথা হবার আগে যেভাবে ঘন্টায় ঘন্টায় যা যা করতাম, এখনও একই কাজ করতে হচ্ছে।

বেশ কিছুদিন থেকে শরীর খুব দুর্বল লাগছে, মনে হচ্ছে পেশিগুলোও ঢিলে হয়ে যাচ্ছে।কাজে একদম এনার্জি পাচ্ছি না, এমনকি কাজে মনোযোগও দিতে পারছি না, মনে হচ্ছে স্মৃতিশক্তি কমে আসছে, খুব ভুলে যাচ্ছি। চোখের দৃষ্টিশক্তিও অনেকটাই কমেছে। চেহারার খুব অবনতি হচ্ছে। বাইরে বের হলেই সবাই আমাকে দেখে একবার জিজ্ঞাসা করছে হল টা কি? চেহারা এত কেন খারাপ হচ্ছে। এবং আমি নিজেও সেটা অনুভব করছি।


এই অবস্থায় আমার এখন কি করনীয় জানালে খুব উপকৃত হব।

পেশেন্ট এখন ওষুধ ব্রেকফাস্টের পর খাচ্ছে ১) অলমিসার্টেন ২০, ২) মেটফর্মিন হাইড্রোক্লোরাইড এস আর ১০০০ এম জি।

গত দেড় /২ বছর থেকে এই ঔষধ খাচ্ছি,তার আগে কয়েক বছর 1)Tablet Glycomet GP2 forte, 2) Tablet Olmygest 40 khetam, কিন্তু গত দেড়/২ বছর আগে চেন্নাইতে গেছিলাম, সেখানে medicine er power কমিয়ে দিয়েছে:  1) Met forming SR 1000 ,2) Olmygest 20, এই ঔষধগুলো খাচ্ছি।

Ongoing project draft : Optimizing clinical complexity through real patient OSCEs in user driven online learning portfolios and learning fora

Title :


Optimizing clinical complexity through real patient OSCEs in user driven online learning portfolios and learning fora



Introduction: 

Most learning is a process of objectively structuring subjective complex multidimensional real life data (blooms level 3-5) into a two dimensional space (blooms level 1 aka knowledge) that can be stored forwarded asynchronously and modeled conceptually to gain understanding (blooms level 2) through further analysis ( level 4) and evaluation (level 5) and then relooped into the learning ecosystem as creative communication/publication (level 6). This learning is cyclic and one can keep moving in and out of these levels at any entry or exit point regardless of level numbers. 

More about bloom levels in a past lecture here :



Problem statement :

Objectively structured clinical evaluations OSCEs have been regarded as a medical educational assessment tool for many decades and at some point threatened the long case into extinction. (1-2) 

However gradually people may have realized that traditional OSCEs are simplified simulations that disregard real world complexities and create an illusion of certainty for learners and assessors alike. (1-2)

Solution: Modification of traditional format preserving realism and clinical complexity developed through candidate's ability toward Socratic questioning also leading to further analysis and evaluation of the long case leading to Bloom level 6 learning insights  on the case not just as a one time summative assessment over a short period of hours but over days of the patients stay in the hospital and subsequent follow up at home all the while continuing the student's evaluation through direct 360 degree observation by multiple evaluators and their feedback inputs around the patient serving as valuable assessment indicators during thematic analysis. (2) 


Methods :

We have developed a modification of traditional format preserving realism and clinical complexity developed through candidate's ability toward Socratic questioning also leading to further analysis and evaluation of the long case leading to Bloom level 6 learning insights  on the case as demonstrated and published here : https://vaishnavimaguluri.blogspot.com/2023/07/general-medicine-case-report-osce.html

And here :



Similar (although not quite) approaches by others to preserve realism and clinical complexity in osce assessments in the link below (also detailed in the references)



Results :

2019 batch OSCEs as pre final UGs in  December 2023:


2018 batch OSCEs as internship completion assessment done as a patient teacher encounter along with direct observation techniques currently prevalent in medical education 



Quantitative results are in the above links for further analysis as of December 2023 while a sample of qualitative thematic analysis (also in the above links) done using pre designed prompts to an AI-LLM(CGpt4) is shared again  quoted below :

To quote from CGPT4:



The reflective writing assignment submitted by the medical PG intern, Navyatha Pothula, can be evaluated along Bloom's Taxonomy and the specific rubric provided:


1. **Bloom's Taxonomy Evaluation**:


   - **Knowledge**: The intern demonstrates knowledge by discussing cases, such as dermatomyositis, erythroderma secondary to psoriasis, dengue, thrombocytopenia, and hyperglycemia【7†source】【8†source】【9†source】【10†source】.



   - **Comprehension**: The understanding is shown in the ability to discuss the medical cases and their complexities, as well as the lessons learned from the internship experience【11†source】【12†source】.



   - **Application**: The application of knowledge is evident in managing clinical responsibilities and learning to prioritize and allocate time efficiently【7†source】.



   - **Analysis**: There is an analysis of cases and an interpretation of fever charts and treatment plans【8†source】【9†source】.



   - **Synthesis**: The intern synthesizes information from various cases and experiences to understand the importance of balancing empathy with professional detachment and other essential skills【7†source】【11†source】.



   - **Evaluation**: The intern evaluates the emotional toll of patient care and the importance of human connection, courage, teamwork, balancing, and mentorship in the medical profession【12†source】.


   Points missing at each level could include more in-depth analysis of patient data, synthesis of broader medical knowledge, and critical evaluation of medical practices or personal performance."

LLM driven analysis of our more than 1000s  of online learning portfolios in our dashboard here : https://medicinedepartment.blogspot.com/2022/02/?m=0 is an ongoing medical cognition project showcased at (4) here : https://medicinedepartment.blogspot.com/2023/10/ongoing-medical-cognition-projects-in.html?m=0


Discussion :

The current project plan is to thematically analyze all the available data for 2019 and 2018 batch of 200 health professionals in each batch and qualitatively evaluate an early phase trial of real OSCEs evolving from near extinct and largely unstructured long cases where the osce becomes a strong driver toward generating student learning outcomes as demonstrated in our linked results  and those student learning outcomes  in turn can be shown to drive patient health outcomes, which is our holy grail to integrate medical education and practice.

Preparing for OSCE success diverts students away from the complexity of authentic clinical environments. Students will not qualify and will, therefore, be of no use to patients without getting marks providing evidence of competence. Performing in a formulaic and often non patient-centred way is the price to pay for a qualification. Acknowledging the stultifying effect of standardising human behaviour for OSCEs opens up possibilities to release latent energy for change in medical education. In this imagined future, the overall object of education is refocused on patient care.

"Fragmentation of complex clinical cases into brief OSCE stations may result in some loss of validity as the authenticity of comprehensively examining a single patient is lost. Examiners may be constrained from assessing the trainee's understanding of a complex patient [2]. The lack of a full patient assessment may send an inaccurate message to the trainees as to the characteristics of clinical competence valued by the examination board.

One potential solution has used work-sampling strategies to assess clinical competence across multiple patients in real clinical practice, as in the mini-clinical evaluation exercise (mini-CEX) [6]. A second solution has been to improve the long case by using direct observation of performance, multiple examiners and standardized rating forms."

Abstract: 
In the United States, the medical education community has begun a shift from the Flexnerian time-based model to a competency-based medical education model. The graduate medical education (GME) community is substantially farther along in this transition than is the undergraduate medical education (UME) community.GME has largely adopted the use of competencies and their attendant milestones and increasingly is employing the framework of entrustable professional activities (EPAs) to assess trainee competence. The UME community faces several challenges to successfully navigating a similar transition. First is the reliance on norm-based reference standards in the UME-GME transition, comparing students' performance versus their peers' with grades, United States Medical Licensing Examination Step 1 and Step 2 score interpretation, and the structured Medical School Performance Evaluation, or dean's letter. Second is the reliance on proxy assessments rather than direct observation of learners. Third is the emphasis on summative rather than formative assessments.Educators have overcome a major barrier to change by establishing UME outcomes assessment criteria with the advent and general acceptance of the physician competency reference set and the Core EPAs for Entering Residency in UME. Now is the time for the hard work of developing assessments steeped in direct observation that can be accepted by learners and faculty across the educational continuum and can be shown to predict clinical performance in a much more meaningful way than the current measures of grades and examinations. The acceptance of such assessments will facilitate the UME transition toward competency-based medical education.
