What are some major findings regarding physicians and medical students’ ability to self assess that are consistent with and inconsistent with those pertaining to students in higher education that we learned about last week? Do these consistent and inconsistent findings seem reasonable to you or are they counterintuitive?

Read these two readings, Blanch-Hartigan, D. (2011). Medical students’ SA of performance: Results from three meta-analysis. Patient Education and Counseling, 84, 3-9.
Davis, D. A., Mazmanian, P. E., Fordis, M., Harrison, R. V., Thorpe, K. E., & Perrier, L. (2006). Accuracy of physician SA compared with observed measures of competence: A systematic review. The Journal of American of Medical Association, 296(9), 1094-1102.
And answer these two questions, separate them into question-and-answer forms. Based on your reading of the Davis et al’s and Blanch-Hartigan’s articles,
1) What are some major findings regarding physicians and medical students’ ability to self assess that are consistent with and inconsistent with those pertaining to students in higher education that we learned about last week? Do these consistent and inconsistent findings seem reasonable to you or are they counterintuitive?
2) The authors identified a number of factors, conditions or situations that can affect (moderate) SA accuracy, do they seem reasonable to you? Which resonant with you the most and which the least? Can you think of others?

question 1 it asked about last week’s reading I will attach that below as well. last week’s reading
