This e-learning module introduces key psychometric properties of diagnostic and prognostic tests, such as sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value. Through interactive features and a patient case example, learners will develop equations, calculate values, and interpret results, enhancing their ability to select and interpret the best tests for patient care. This module can be used as an initial introduction to these concepts as well as for ongoing review in health professions education.
