This document provides information about the Toolbox of Assessment Methods, which was created through a joint initiative between the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS). It describes various assessment methods that can be used to evaluate residents, including brief descriptions of each method, how they are used, their psychometric qualities, and feasibility. The toolbox is intended to assist medical educators in selecting and developing evaluation techniques for residency programs and assessing resident competencies.
1. Novice medical practitioners tend to use a "shotgun" approach to testing without a clear target in mind, while experts usually have a specific target and tailor their testing strategy accordingly.
2. Developing diagnostic virtuosity requires strong clinical reasoning abilities, medical knowledge, pattern recognition skills, and the ability to effectively integrate various information sources.
3. Effective communication and collaboration with patients and other medical professionals is also important for making accurate diagnoses and treatment decisions.

This document discusses two clinical cases involving infants with feeding difficulties. The first case involves a 1-month-old male infant with watery diarrhea since birth that did not improve with a cow's milk protein partial hydrolysate formula. The second case involves a 1-month-old female infant admitted with watery diarrhea who was rotavirus positive and had recurrent diarrhea after being discharged. The document provides background on types of lactase deficiency, diagnostic approaches, and discusses potential diagnoses and treatments for the cases, including lactose intolerance, cow's milk protein allergy, and congenital diarrhea. It emphasizes using an evidence-based approach to evaluate the cases.
Gianotti-Crosti syndrome vs PPGSS syndromepedgishih
?
Gianotti-Crosti syndrome (GCS), also known as papular acrodermatitis, is a symmetric papular rash that primarily affects children under 5 years of age. It presents as flat-topped pink-brown papules or papulovesicles on the cheeks, buttocks, and extensor surfaces. GCS is usually associated with a prior viral infection, most commonly hepatitis B virus or Epstein-Barr virus. The rash typically lasts 10 days to 6 months and resolves spontaneously without treatment. Complications are rare but may include postinflammatory skin discoloration or complications related to the underlying viral infection.
This document provides a table that rates different assessment methods for evaluating competencies according to the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). The table rates various assessment methods (such as record reviews, checklists, oral exams, etc.) on a scale of 1 to 3 (with 1 being the most desirable) for evaluating skills related to various competencies like patient care, medical knowledge, practice-based learning, interpersonal communication, professionalism, and systems-based practice. The assessment methods are part of a toolbox created by ACGME and the American Board of Medical Specialties to help evaluate competencies in graduate medical education.
