“…Two studies of logbooks for undergraduate medical students did not demonstrate an association between a higher caseload volume and higher marks. 19,20 Expert feedback and deliberate practice may improve learning more than volume of clinical encounters in isolation. However, quality feedback depends on expert, motivated teachers.…”

“…A log book may be a useful tool in assessing the highest level of competence as defined by MILLER [29], but in isolation is inadequate to fully prove competence. Although some surgical studies have suggested a correlation between logbook recorded operative caseload involvement and the development of technical skills along with an encouragement to actively pursue learning opportunities, it has been suggested that logbooks do not deliver sufficient reliability or validity to allow for their use in accreditation purposes, and several studies have shown that they do not correlate with educational outcomes [33][34][35][36][37][38].…”

@ERSpublications Focused thoracic ultrasound is essential in the guidance of pleural interventions to reduce unwanted complications. It forms a crucial component of physician training. Current training standards and assessment methods vary.ABSTRACT Focused thoracic ultrasound has become essential in the guidance and direction of pleural interventions to reduce unwanted complications and as a result now forms a crucial component of physician training. Current training standards along with assessment methods vary widely, and are often not robust enough to ensure adequate competence. This review assesses the current state of training and assessment of thoracic ultrasound competence in various settings, allowing comparison with alternative competency based programmes. Future directions for training and assessment of thoracic ultrasound competence are discussed. Epidemiology and relevancePleural disease is common, with an estimated annual incidence of 3000 people per million population. This translates to approximately 200 000 new cases of pleural disease yearly in the UK and this incidence continues to rise, therefore representing a significant burden on healthcare systems. There are more than 40 000 new cases of malignant pleural effusion in the UK annually, contributing to an annual incidence of approximately 300 000 cases across the USA and UK combined. Incidence rates for all cancers combined in the UK have increased by 7% over the past 10 years and are projected to rise by a further 2% between 2014 and 2035 to 742 cases per 100 000, which is likely to result in an ongoing increase in the incidence of malignant pleural effusion. In addition, there are approximately 2500 deaths per year in the UK from mesothelioma. The incidence has steadily risen over the past 50 years and is expected to peak in 2020 [1-5].The combined UK and US population also has an estimated annual incidence of 80 000 cases of pleural infection. This frequency has doubled over the past decade and continues to rise [6,7]. Role of ultrasound for pleural proceduresAs the prevalence of pleural disease has continued to rise, so has the need for increasingly specialised interventions. This includes local anaesthetic thoracoscopy with or without pneumothorax induction, pleural biopsy and indwelling catheter insertion along with more traditional procedures such as pleural aspiration and chest drain insertion. The role of ultrasound guidance for these procedures has also increased. A Intermediate-level TUS operatorMinimum of 2 years' experience as a basic-level TUS operator Ability to detect A-lines and B-lines in lung ultrasound Ability to identify and assess pleural thickening Ability to assess diaphragm function on ultrasound Ability to perform real-time pleural aspiration and chest drain insertion when required Ability to use ultrasound help guide site for indwelling pleural catheter insertion (scanning patients in lateral decubitus position) Annual review and appraisal of practice including standardised outcome measures Advanced-level TUS operator...

A multimodal assessment method is designed on the basis on Science Performance Assessment with three central representations in focus of assessment: Written, oral and practical representations. The multimodal assessment method is tried out in both kindergarten and in primary school, which have worked with inquiry based science education (IBSE) related to the subject “Wind & Weather”. The study is situated in a sociocultural context and the data are analyzed according to Engeströms activity theory. The results clearly indicated that the method is suitable for assessment of IBSE activities. It gives the evaluator opportunities to test students’ knowledge, skills and competencies related to science as well as students’ social and personal competencies. Hence, the evaluator in a better way can guide the students in the right direction on their learning journey.

Reaching the limits of mandated self-reporting: Clinical logbooks do not predict clerkship performance

Abstract: Even within an integrated longitudinal clerkship framework, our findings are consistent with previous studies showing a negligible relationship between logbooks as an educational process measure and how they relate to educational outcomes.
