Abstract
Conceptualizing the next patient interaction is logical, essential, and largely done intuitively with limited literature. The first objective is to elicit student thought experiences to four questions. The secondary objective is to classify responses for respective questions and to review faculty assessments.
Forty-two students completed the exercise in the first clinical prosthodontics experience after a simulation course, in the fall of 2023. Four open-ended questions were 1) differentiation from the ideal, 2) desired outcome(s), 3) self-capabilities, and 4) consequences/prognosis. Nine different faculty assessed the exercise.
100% of students responded to all four questions and 83% of responses were judged by faculty to grasp the concept in the question. The authors categorized responses into natural categories for each question. Authors separately assigned responses to categories. The agreement rate was 90%. Little to no overlap in responses was observed among the four questions. The sequence of questions led students to thought experiences from empathy in Question #1, to compassion in Question #2, and to self-reflection in Question #3 to social projection in Question #4.
The main objective was met by engaging students in thought-provoking responses to questions the experienced clinician asks of every patient encounter. The exercise elicited different kinds of thought experiences on four topics. The format was succinct with acceptance by students and faculty. The project has progressed from a concept some years ago to a recent pilot to full implementation with the current project. The next steps will be refinement and follow-up in some years. The project follows an emulation model for critical thinking.
