I am cross-posting the following from Evidence-based Medicine (EVI) and Dr-ED with some additional context and with thanks to the many replies from those expressing interest suggesting that more of you may find this information relevant.

Taken together the clinical assessment and preparation approaches presented below can fundamentally change Medical Education assessment. The first OSCE book published some time ago was reviewed in Family Medicine:

Those interested may contact me directly ( cawthord@ucalgary.ca ) and I will share the links with you.
To the end of education, I will share with you a more recent book released June 30th that provides a means for learners to devise and develop their own complex morbidity cases for practice, in addition to learning about an evidence-based means of tracking their own patients’ progression through each encounter across treatment. The model is based on over 20 years of data that has proven valid, reliable, and, perhaps, elegant in its simplicity:
AI-Driven Learning in Medicine - Revolutionizing Objective Skills Clinical Examination (OSCE) Preparation through the Lens of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) Paperback – June 30 2023
Two other books summarized in the book above also stand alone as to their novel paradigmatic relevance to medical education. As a kernel of change, these two books provide one evidence-based model for measuring the treatment effects of various standards of care in the presence of simple or complex multi-morbidity:
Self-Monitoring Treatment In Western And Traditional Chinese Medicine
Monitoring Clinical Outcomes In Western And Traditional Chinese Medicine
The central role of temporal biomedical hyper-morbidity associated with any psychiatric diagnosis is now established as a permanent learning section within the World Psychiatric Association (https://www.wpanet.org/comorbidity), wherein psychiatric diagnosis-associated biomedical and biophysical morbidity are identified as
“A main challenge to medicine in the 21st century” (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23806962/)
Finally, given the novel centrality of temporal hyper-morbidity and its association with psychiatry, an acquaintance sent me a newsworthy article last May that outlines some of psychiatry’s other current challenges which is interesting and calls for a fundamental paradigm shift in the field:
