The impact of educational interventions on the reliability of teachers' assessment of student case reports: a controlled trial.
Assessment of a case report allows for evaluation of the student's information-collecting ability, clinical reasoning and written communication skills. Intrarater reliability of case report evaluation in second-year internal medicine was evaluated and found unacceptably low even after educational interventions. We conclude that for case report assessment to be useful educationally ratings must be obtained from numerous examiners on repeated occasions.
