Location: Bangalore

Employment Type: Contract

Experience: Fresher / Experienced

Job Summary:

Indian medical colleges rarely offer structured, scalable training in dual-process reasoning, cognitive debiasing, and illness script development. Faculty expertise varies and limited protected bedside teaching time worsens inequities in clinical reasoning education. Asynchronous digital tools can standardize high-quality instruction across institutions, but robust multicenter evidence on their effectiveness, feasibility, and acceptability is lacking. This study aims to bridge this critical gap in CBME implementation. ASCRIBE is a 10-module online asynchronous course that teaches diagnostic reasoning (dual-process theory, illness scripts, cognitive debiasing) to Phase III Part 1 MBBS students, built with the ADDIE instructional design model on a secure LMS.

- Design: 10 colleges cluster-randomized by institution, 5 to immediate access and 5 to a waitlist control that crosses over later.
- Sample: 400 students, 40 per college.
- Outcomes: Diagnostic Thinking Inventory (DTI), Key Feature Examination (KFE), rubric-scored AI-assisted case simulations (Kirkpatrick Level 3), LMS learning analytics, and student and faculty perception questionnaires.
- Deliverables: a validated curriculum package, an AI-assisted assessment toolkit, at least two peer-reviewed publications and policy recommendations for CBME.
