Comparison of two data capture methods and gender during clinical assessment in osteopathy: The impact on student/ tutor satisfaction ratings
Get PDFBackground: Direct observation of students with patients is important for assessing clinical skills prior to professional registration. The mini-clinical evaluation exercise (mini-CEX) is established as part of a broad assessment profile. Differences between student and tutor satisfaction, when deploying this assessment through different methods, are not widely explored. This study explored gender bias in osteopathy students and tutors with satisfaction ratings, using the miniCEX via online and paper-based versions. Methods: An online mini-CEX was initially trialled as a posthoc data entry administration tool. Android tablets were then used for online capture of observed clinical practice of students by tutors. Comparison with a paper counterpart over the course of three academic years was undertaken. Influence of gender and assessment capture was analysed using summary, correlation and regression statistics to explore the data in depth. Results: 736 assessments of patient encounters were analysed (550 (75%) online). The influence of paper and online process on satisfaction scores was not significant (odds ratio 1, CI 0.86 – 1.15). Student satisfaction ratings for female students assessed by male tutors indicated lower scores compared to same-sex pairings (P<.007). Correlation between all student and tutor satisfaction ratings was moderate (r2=0.62, 95% CI 0.57 – 0.66, P<.00001). Conclusions: The findings suggest that there is no difference between the two methods of delivery and satisfaction for either examiner or student, suggesting support for use of the online version. The relevance to the teaching environment within osteopathy has applicability to wider clinical healthcare. The role of gender as an influence in the satisfactory conduct of assessment warrants further investigation

To Exist is to Resist,” is the title of a story that describes two murals, one banner, and the shrinking distance between Mexico and Palestine. This banner, which affirms indigenous steadfastness inspired by Palestinian ṣumūd, appears in big bold red font on similar murals in different sites in Mexico and Palestine: a community center in caracol Oventic—one of the major autonomous Zapatista municipalities in the highlands of Chiapas— and the Apartheid Wall in Occupied Bethlehem. Gustavo Chávez Pavón, a Zapatista cultural promter and an artist from Mexico City, painted both murals in 2004. In this essay, which summarizes series of personal interviews that I conducted with Chávez Pavón between 2017 and 2018, I reflect on how murals function as an artistic expression of indigenous solidarity between Mexico and Palestine. In addition to documenting an untold history of Zapatista solidarity with Palestine, I seek to examine how the Zapatista muralist movement in Chiapas exemplifies notions of indigenous encounters in the Global South.
