Silver, Ivan; Campbell, Craig; Marlow, Bernard; Sargeant, Joan – Journal of Continuing Education in the Health Professions, 2008
Introduction: Several recent studies highlight that physicians are not very accurate at assessing their competence in clinical domains when compared to objective measures of knowledge and performance. Instead of continuing to try to train physicians to be more accurate self-assessors, the research suggests that physicians will benefit from…
