The next Clinical Vignette Writing Circle will be on the fourth Thursday of January (27th), 1:30 -3:30. The sessions are going virtual, and a link to the WebEx is below.
Interest in this opportunity has expanded, and faculty from the University of Alabama at Birmingham will participate. These workshops allow basic science and clinical faculty to collaborate in writing test items similar to those utilized on national licensure examinations.
You may email Dr. Lecretia A. Buckley items ahead of the session or bring draft items to the sessions, although doing so is not a requirement. The sessions will continue until June 23, 2022, and continuing education credit may be obtained.

Here is a flawed item. What's the flaw? How would you edit the item for an exam question? Let's discuss it in the next Clinical Vignette Writing Circle.
A 45-year-old male presents to the emergency department complaining of a 3-hour history of crushing, substernal chest pain. The pain began while he was raking leaves and radiates to the left shoulder. There is associated shortness of breath, sweating, and nausea. He has never experienced anything like this before. He has a history of hypertension that is well-controlled with hydrochlorothiazide. He smokes one-half pack of cigarettes daily since age 25. Family history is remarkable for multiple male relatives who had heart attacks before age 50, including his father and two older brothers. Vital signs are temperature 37C (98.6F), pulse 110/minute, respirations 18/minute, and blood pressure 160/95 mmHg. Pulse oximetry on room air is 98%. Physical examination reveals an obese white male in obvious distress who is sweating profusely. Heart rhythm appears normal on auscultation except for tachycardia. Pulmonary examination is benign. Which of the following is the correct diagnostic study to order at this time?
1. Electrocardiogram
2. Troponin I
3. Chest X-ray
4. Complete blood count
5. Electrolytes
