Assessing Professional Behaviors in Pre-Clerkship Medical Students Using the “Team” in Team-Based Learning
Presented by Amanda Emke on November 6, 2019.

Preclinical physician training often focuses on individual knowledge acquisition. Students work individually and indirectly with faculty assessors. Therefore, the assessment of professionalism in preclinical training allowing for longitudinal assessment and early recognition of at-risk behaviors continues to present challenges. Team-Based Learning (TBL), with peer interactions at its instructional core, provides unique opportunities for direct observation of professional behaviors. We developed a novel assessment strategy using paired self- and peer-assessments of professional behaviors observed during TBL sessions. Proof-of-concept was completed in 2015. The current project gathers validity evidence on the ability to provide early detection of students with at-risk behaviors.
