Remediation is common — and hard to scale
Formal and informal remediation are recurring program responsibilities, not rare exceptions.
Assign unknown CCS cases, lock learner access to assigned work, compare decision logs, and turn case performance into actionable remediation data.
For residency programs, tutoring companies, IMG cohorts, and instructor-led Step 3 groups.
Program directors need more than self-study access. They need assignment control, objective remediation data, and step-by-step case review.
Formal and informal remediation are recurring program responsibilities, not rare exceptions.
Underperformance often reflects how learners apply knowledge under pressure.
Programs need objective evidence before remediation can become specific and defensible.
Formative assessment depends on learners facing unknown cases when the program releases them.
MDSteps Cohort Practice supports competency-based education with assigned-case workflows, learner-by-learner oversight, side-by-side attempt review, and documented evidence for remediation conversations.
Source themes: CERA program director surveys; ABIM-aligned curriculum data; national program director survey data; scoping review on clinical reasoning remediation.
Instead of waiting for learners to self-report progress, instructors can see who completed assigned cases, how scores are trending, and which decision patterns are clustering across the cohort.
Keep learners focused on assigned cases while giving faculty the reporting layer needed to identify patterns, protect assessment integrity, and intervene early.
Choose cases from the main CCS library, set due dates, and control exactly what learners can access.
Track completion, average score, pass rate, timing issues, delayed actions, and weak categories.
Compare how different learners handled the same case and identify delayed, missing, or unsafe management choices.
Open a learner detail page with assigned cases, completed attempts, scores, weak areas, and reports.
Export completion, learner summaries, and assignment progress for program records.
Invite an entire cohort at once, manage seats, and keep learners inside CCS-only access.
Faculty can review finished attempts side by side, identify delayed decisions, open individual reports, and turn case review into a focused remediation or academic half-day discussion.
Cohort learners receive CCS-only access. They can complete assigned cases, review their own reports, and return to the cohort dashboard without seeing the full case library or the broader MDSteps platform.
Faculty can assign cases, protect the case library, compare attempts, open learner reports, export records, and identify who needs targeted review before exam day.
Name your program, choose learner seats, and create the admin account.
Choose your learner seat count and begin a monthly cohort subscription.
Invite learners individually or in bulk. Learners only see assigned CCS work.
Review completion, compare attempts, export records, and remediate weak areas.
No. It is built for residency programs, tutoring companies, IMG cohorts, school groups, and any instructor-led Step 3 group.
No. Cohort learners receive CCS-only access and can only access assigned cohort work and their own reports.
Yes. Learners do not see the full case library. Admins and instructors can release specific cases for remediation, formative assessment, academic half-day review, or cohort practice.
Yes. Admins, owners, and instructors can open learner reports and compare attempts across the same case.
Yes. Cohort admins can export learner summaries, assignment progress, and completion records as CSV files.
