Impact of a Grading Committee on Addressing Inequities in Assessment for a Fourth-Year Emergency Medicine Clerkship

Provide ABEM-aligned, structured feedback to improve oral board performance.Support flexible learning environments from individual to group settings.Curricular Design: MR PRO simulates realistic oral board scenarios, integrating EKGs, X-rays, and ultrasounds into interactive case analyses.Embedded feedback tools enable continuous improvement and reflective learning.Regular sessions focus on image-based cases, and lectures use MR PRO's distribution feature to improve engagement and create active learning.Assessments include resident and faculty feedback, with performance outcome comparisons pre-and post-MR PRO integration.Initial challenges in adapting the app to various educational settings were addressed through iterative adjustments.Impact/Effectiveness: MR PRO has improved resident proficiency, particularly in image-based learning.Resident feedback over five years confirms enhanced performance in oral board simulations.A paired t-test showed statistically significant improvements over textbook methods (t = -7.17,p<0.001), underscoring its effectiveness in increasing engagement and preparedness.Future plans include expanded sessions and advanced scenarios to further enhance resident readiness.Image 1 and 2 demonstrate screenshots of the MR PRO visuals when in use.
