TI  - The meaning of it all: evaluating knowledge of Minimal Clinically Important 
      Difference (MCID) among chiropractic students.
PG  - 241-251
AB  - INTRODUCTION: Patient-reported outcome measures are frequently used to monitor 
      patient progress during chiropractic care, yet student interns utilizing such 
      assessments are unfamiliar with what magnitude of change (MCID) is considered 
      beneficial to the patient. OBJECTIVE: This work seeks to determine chiropractic 
      intern knowledge of MCID. METHODS: A five-item survey was administered to 104 
      chiropractic student interns. RESULTS: Nearly one-third of the interns correctly 
      defined the MCID acronym, and approximately one-third of the interns knew at 
      least one MCID value for the outcome assessments in the EHR. Surprisingly, 20% of 
      the interns reported knowledge of at least one MCID value, but answered 
      incorrectly pertaining to the MCID acronym. CONCLUSION: Student interns value 
      patient perception, but have limited knowledge of MCID values. Addressing this 
      gap will improve their understanding of patient progress and inform their 
      treatment decisions both in the outpatient clinic and in their practices 
      following graduation.
