The objective of this study was to evaluate improvement in clinical reasoning by preclinical medical students following participation in a clinical presentation curriculum that included both course and session-level integration of psychiatric and basic science concepts. A Script Concordance Test (SCT) for psychiatry was developed to assess differences in clinical reasoning in the students.
