May 2010
Dr. Roberta Chinn, Assistant Director of Psychometric Services, and Dr. Greg
Hurtz, Psychometric Consultant, presented a paper entitled "Evidence that
key features problems assess higher-level cognitive processes" at the
Association for Medical Education in Europe's Ottawa Conference held in
Miami, Florida in May 2010. A key features problem consists of a clinical
case scenario followed by several "stand alone" questions that require
practitioners to prioritize and select the most critical (key) steps,
actions, or decisions necessary to resolve clinical issues.
