Description

Kiyoshi Shikino and co-authors tested, in a 2024 study, a video-based exam that probes whether young Japanese doctors can diagnose, not just recall. Written in-training tests measure knowledge well but say little about bedside reasoning. Their add-on shows a simulated emergency room case and asks for the diagnosis.

A total of 4,677 residents took both the standard test and the video exam in early 2023. Only one in ten landed the video case's diagnosis. Yet the video scores separated strong from weak performers sharply across every domain, from basic knowledge to physical exam skill. Hospital and doctor traits tied to success were also mapped. The authors argue a short simulation video adds a competence signal that paper tests miss, cheaply and at national scale.
