This retrospective cohort study examined diagnosis through simulated cases administered over an online platform. Attending and resident physicians had higher diagnostic accuracy scores than medical students. Diagnostic efficiency was better among attending physicians than resident physicians, interns, and medical students. The team also developed and validated a novel diagnostic performance measure combining these two constructs.
