Abstract

In the realm of medical education, the development of critical thinking skills among residents is paramount for delivering optimal patient care. However, traditional assessment methods often fall short in capturing the multifaceted nature of critical thinking in complex clinical scenarios. This article explores the concept of utilizing Simultaneous Complexity Reporting (SCR) as a novel approach to evaluate resident critical thinking and enhance adult learning in medical training programs. SCR offers a dynamic framework for residents to analyze and synthesize complex clinical cases in real-time, fostering a deeper understanding of medical concepts and promoting adaptive problem-solving skills. By integrating SCR into residency curricula, educators can effectively assess and cultivate critical thinking abilities while empowering residents to navigate the intricacies of modern healthcare delivery.
