¹Eric Holmboe, ²Nicholas Chew and ¹Stanley Hamstra
¹USA and ²Singapore
Workshop Description
The effective use of work-based assessments, those assessments that occur in the course of caring for patients and populations, is essential to the successful implementation of competency-based medical education. This will be an interactive, hands-on workshop to help participants get the most out of their work-based assessments such as direct observation (e.g. the mini-CEX), faculty evaluation forms, multi-source feedback (i.e. 360 evaluations) and clinical performance data (e.g. quality and safety indicators and measures). The two day course will end with a workshop on designing and implementing assessment programs. Participants will complete an action plan blueprint to help them make changes in their own programs. The course will also come will a toolkit of assessment resources.
Workshop Objective
By the end of the workshop the participants will be able to:
- Apply key principles of work-based assessments for their program’s own assessment methods and tools
- Improve the quality of direct observation in their own programs
- Design a faculty development program for work-based assessments
- Design a program of assessment using a combination of work-based assessments
Who Should Attend
DIOs, program directors and others involved in the assessment of residents.
