Assessment in Health Professions Education

The Monash Institute for Health and Clinical Education is proud to co-deliver this 3 day short course, Assessment in Health Professions Education with the Harvard Macy Institute. Delivered by Professor Margaret Hay and Dr Victor Lee, this course will develop and extend your knowledge about assessment and provide you with frameworks to refine the implementation of assessment in your professional context.

Learning Outcomes

• Learn a systems approach to assessment in which your individual assessment practices will be located within the broader framework encompassing your learners, your course(s), your institution, your accrediting body, and the community in which you and your trainees practice.
• Explore the intimate relationship between assessment and learning, and the essentials of effective and quality assessment.
• Learn the skills to develop assessment programs that align with the desired objectives and outcomes of your program.

What you can expect
The teaching approach during each course day will oscillate between interactive didactic sessions on assessment in the health professions from a broad ‘balcony’ perspective, to practical exercises aimed to contextualise or ‘ground’ the broader content to your individual assessment practices.

The 3 course days are directed towards a cumulative approach to understanding contemporary approaches to assessment in the health professions, and your development of a program of assessment that is relevant to your learners and in a way that is appropriate for your discipline or course.

The course culminates in group presentations of your developed program of assessment. Attendance across all three days of the course is therefore required.
