Purpose

Part of a clinician’s competence is the capacity to deal with the complex and ambiguous nature of patient care. The Script Concordance Test (SCT) is a method for evaluating data interpretation, one of the measurable dimensions of problem-solving skill.

Objectives

1. Discover the SCT, an innovative competency-based assessment.
2. Apply the application of this tool for the evaluation of problem- solving competency in medical learners.
3. Appreciate the SCT as a validated assessment for differentiating among medical learners from student to resident physician to expert clinician.
