Retention of JCU basic medical sciences influence on entry knowledge testing and need for early educational intervention of post graduate GP registrars (Old ID 27920)

Chief Investigator

This project proposes the use of a basic science exam that serves as a diagnostic tool to aid early identification and remediation of gaps in the learning of new GP registrars. Given that assessment drives learning, the inclusion of a formative basic science retention exam in the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM) assessment schedule for new GP registrars can be used to strengthen learning of the basic sciences and their application to clinical practice. Additionally, the study will aid the identification of contextual and cultural differences in terms of knowledge gaps and facilitate the development of tailored interventions to improve registrars’ integration of basic sciences into clinical practice.
