Neurology Goal Setting Study: Sporting Excellence Translated into Medical Training

Needs-specific goal setting is a key tool used in high-performing organizations, such asworld-class athletes and professionals, to maximize performance and the probability of achieving a desired goal or success criteria [1]. As with elite athletes, medical students have a huge volume of components to internalize and perfect to perform clinical procedures and examinations to a proficient standard. An emerging area of professional career development is the use of goal-setting using computer software [2,3]. This project investigates the potential benefits of implementing of goal setting software in the clinical skills setting to increase medical students' performance in Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs).
