Differences in Self-expression Reflect Formal Evaluation in a Fourth-year Emergency Medicine Clerkship
Alternate Title

Michael Chary, MD, PhD, et al.

Reflection may be a potential learning tool for Emergency Medicine, but there are few data supporting this hypothesis. The authors evaluated the relationship between a linguistic marker of the degree of reflection after a student’s shift in an emergency department and that student’s clerkship performance.
