Developing an Assessment Strategy

Developing an Assessment Strategy, Dr Lee Coombes, Centre for Medical Education, Cardiff University School of Medicine, Cardiff, UK

Workshop description

This workshop will work through the steps required in designing, implementing, and validating an assessment strategy for medical education.  It will look at how to identify the outcomes we require, and how we can develop the curriculum to facilitate a modern assessment strategy.  Participants will learn how to integrate modern approaches to assessment into their own programmes, and discuss the challenges that change can bring.  Participants will also learn how to review, revise and further develop the strategy in line with modern assessment practice and the methods used to ensure assessment is robust, fit for purpose, and defensible.
