q2 · i? · qualitative · r3

Focus-group theme from the qualitative pilot. The course paired simulations with conversational lectures and a partner project researching psychometric properties (reliability, validity, norms, sensitivity, specificity) using a guided table, presented in weekly meetings. Students reported benefit from interpreting psychometric properties through this guided process.

"There was widespread agreement by participants stating that the debriefing portion of the experience allowed for them to discuss their questions and bring them to the attention of the clinical instructor."
