Principles of Assessment in Medical Education

by Tejinder Singh, Anshu

The aim of this book is to focus on the Principles of Assessment in Medical Education. Assessment is important. It is not only what guides, steers and drives student learning but it also helps to certify the quality of our graduates and reassure the public. Developing assessment in medical education is certainly not an easy task; medical competence has many facets, and all are important at various times. It is, therefore, only logical that our views on what constitutes good assessment have evolved. In this book, the Author present a readable digest of key topics covering both the underlying theories of assessment as well as practical illustrations of how to apply a range of assessment instruments and the crucial role of feedback. The topics are clearly presented in 28 chapters introduced by key points. There are 6 new chapters and others which have been extensively updated and rewritten. The format is clear, the pages are not too crowded, and the book is not over-long or too large or heavy to handle. Several graphics have also been added to make concepts clear.
