If you've developed or want to develop a scale to measure some psycho-social construct in #MedEd/#HigherEd, & you're wondering how to do it, this paper is my new favorite example. And yes, I'm very biased. 😂 Led by @WillBynumMD, we're very proud of this #survey development work... journals.lww.com/academicmed…
