Background
Diagnostic accuracy is one of the major cornerstones of appropriate and successful medical decision-making. Clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) have recently been used to facilitate physician’s diagnostic considerations. However, to date, little is known about the potential assets of CDSS for medical students in an educational setting. The purpose of our study was to explore the usefulness of CDSSs for medical students assessing their diagnostic performances and the influence of such software on students’ trust in their own diagnostic abilities.
