Résumé : | Background: We assessed the differences in podiatric medical students’ clinical professionalism objective scores (CPOSs) by comparing a previous nonrubric evaluation tool with a more recently implemented objective-centered rubric evaluation tool. This
type of study has never been performed or reported on in the podiatric medical education literature.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 89 third-year podiatric medical students between academic years 2010-2011 and 2011-2012. A Pearson correlation coefficient analysis was performed to compare CPOSs from the students’ first (CPOS1)
and second (CPOS2) rotations. A correlation analysis was performed comparing
students’ grade point averages (GPAs) with each of the individual CPOSs to verify the validity of the rubric evaluation tool.
Results: The Pearson correlation coefficients for the relationship between 2012 CPOS1 and CPOS2 and GPA were r ¼ 0.233 (P .093) and r ¼ 0.290 (P , .035) and for the relationship between 2013 CPOS1 and CPOS2 and GPA were r ¼ 0.525 (P ¼ .001) and r
¼ 0.730 (P , .001).
Conclusions: These findings suggest that the use of a rubric in the evaluation of podiatric medical students’ CPOSs is correlated with their GPAs, and CPOS2 demonstrated a higher correlation than CPOS1. We believe that implementation of the
rubric evaluation tool has increased the accuracy of the evaluation of podiatric medical students with respect to CPOSs. |
