HOW TO DOCUMENT YOUR MASTERY


In order for PASS Peak to help you learn more efficiently, the system must know "where you are". Therefore, it is important you take the time to document your learning activities by using the "mastery wheels" below. While this will take some time, we believe the impact of the system will give you a significant return on your time investment by saving you time in the future.

 
 KNOWLEDGE



  REVIEW TOPICS
Memorizing topics lays the foundation of knowledge needed to eventually apply clinical knowledge and think critically.  As a medical student you should initially focus on the basic science of different clinical conditions and then focus on the classic presentations, diagnostic tests, and treatments.

QUESTIONS
Questions are cost-effective case-based learning, which is the best way to learn to apply medical knowledge, evidence, and to think critically. Questions work best in repetition, where you see the question over and over again, going deeper into the explanation and references.

Target ContentMedbullets USMLE board-style questions.

EVIDENCE

 In today's world of medicine, having a firm grasp of the evidence is essential to take good care of patients. Unfortunately, there is a "sea" of evidence, and it can be difficult and time-consuming to choose what is important to read. Medbullets has done the hard work of filtering for the evidence of which you need to be aware.

Target ContentOnly Medbullets "Tested" articles count as target content. "Tested Articles" represent a small subset of all the articles and have met specific Medbullets inclusion criteria.

  TEACHING CASES - COMING IN 2018
Teaching cases are the "cadillac" of learning to apply medical knowledge, the latest evidence, and think critically. They are important because they allow students to make decisions in an algorithmic pathway - e.g., so you got an MRI in the ER and the patient is alert and oriented, so what is your next step in management?

Target ContentOne of our major goals of the coming years will be to partner with medical schools to generate a rich library of teaching cases. We realize we have a lot of work to do here. Cases will not appear on your PEAK tracker unless there is a high-quality teaching case associated with the topic.

  VIDEOS
While you can learn a lot by reading on your own, didactic lectures from experts always highlights what is most relevant in clinical practice. A series of Core Videos will help medical students take what they are reading, and see the relevance in clinical practice.

Target ContentCurrently all videos linked to a topic count in this counter. Shortly, only "Core Videos" that have a certain educational value and quality control will count in this counter.

SKILL PREPARATION TASKS
You can't expect to do any skill or procedure unless you have done your homework. Prepare for procedures by reading the basic outline of the skill steps watching select videos, and reading key articles and portions of textbook chapters. 

Target ContentMedbullets has carefully created a series of tasks that we believe a student should complete in preparation for a skill. They include: 
1) STEPS - reading the Medbullets "Steps" of a skill that have been created by Medbullets. Medbullets Techniques are largerly incomplete at this time, and will see rapid improvement as they are updated by experts in the field over the coming months.

Mastery Trigger: 

 Check the "Mark Skill as Read" under each Step. 
2) VIDEOS - only Medbullets Technique Videos count. Currently we only have videos for one procedure posted. We plan on releasing 1-2 Technique Videos per month.

Mastery Trigger: Click on Video Self-mastery Tool of Skill Technique Video per the scale listed above under videos. 
3) ARTICLES - we will continue to select several articles, which may be a scientific article or a section of a Technique textbook, which we feel should be read prior to attempting to do a surgical skill. We will do our best to make sure a PDF is provided.

  SKILL SELF-MASTERY
We know students can teach themselves most skills by passive observation and trying on their own. Our selfmastery system allows students to track their selfmastery on each step of a skill. 

Target ContentThis includes the Medbullets "Steps" for each Skill. For each of these "Steps" the student rates his Self-mastery on the scale listed below.

FOR PASS INSTITUTIONAL CUSTOMERS - COMING IN 2018

 
FACULTY ENGAGEMENT & FEEDBACK

Just like you need a "spotter" when benching 20lbs more than ever before, you need to engage faculty so they can "spot" you on your "sweet spot" skills/knowledge - the information you can't quite master on your own. 

Target ContentA "sweet spot" skill is one in which the student has completed all the prerequisite skills (skill of easier complexity level), has completed on the Preparatory Tasks, and has Self-Mastered to 80%. In our opinion, only then is a student ready to engage with faculy and have the most productive teaching/learning experience.

Mastery Trigger: Faculty MSE Level increase once faculty or a resident assess you as good or excellent. 
SKILL COMPLEXITY LEVEL: Our Skills, are broken down into 5 levels of complexity. A student should reach a Level 4 by the time he graduates from medical school.  He should have reached a Level 5 by the time he has completed his fellowship.
 
     
  L1
Graded as good or excellent on Level 1 skills.
  L2
Graded as good or excellent on Level 2 skills.
  L3
Graded as good or excellent on Level 3 skills.
  L4
Graded as good or excellent on Level 4 skills.
  L5
Graded as good or excellent on Level 5 skills.
