How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Clinical education is the classic teaching method in a medical school. However, in recent years, there have been several trends in medical education that impede full-fledged clinical education, including pandemic emergencies that are forcing medical universities to switch to distance learning. We offer an innovative teaching method based on the use of virtual patients on an open access platform for the development of clinical thinking in a distance learning environment, which has proven to be effective.
