SCRIPT team present poster at ASME Midlands Medical Education Conference

10th April 2024

In April, the SCRIPT team was invited to present a poster at the 8th Association for the Study of Medical Education (ASME) Midlands Medical Education Conference in Birmingham. The poster showcased a systematic review assessing the think aloud technique (a process involving the verbalisation of conscious thoughts) as a method to improve understanding of the decision-making process behind prescribing. SCRIPT research associate Daniel discussed the findings with medical educators from other Midlands Universities, as a new avenue for research.
