Preface
Assessment of health professionals across the continuum of medical education and practice is essential for advancing high-quality and safe healthcare and improving health for patients and the public. Assessment of clinical competence is a core element of educational professionalism and underlies effective professional self-regulation; it is essential for fulfilling our professional obligation as educators to assure the public that the graduates of health professions education training programs are truly prepared to enter the next stage of education and/or practice. Despite substantial attention to the quality and safety of healthcare over the past 25 years, major deficiencies and concerns persist in healthcare fields. The transformation of medical education, and the education of all healthcare professionals, is appropriately seen as part of the solution. Effective assessment is a vital component of this difficult transformation that is only further challenged by a once-in-a-century pandemic.
First and foremost, medicine is a service profession. As medical educators, it is vital that we develop and use high-quality assessment methods embedded within effective assessment systems to meet our primary obligation to the public and patients we serve. Furthermore, effective assessment provides the necessary data for robust feedback, coaching, and guidance to support professional growth and development. Learners are entitled to no less; without assessment, feedback, and coaching, the attainment of mastery, the ultimate goal of outcomes-based education, is nearly impossible.

It has been more than 5 years since the second edition of this book, and much has changed during this relatively brief period. We have seen an encouraging acceleration of the development of assessment tools, methods, and research despite the COVID-19 pandemic. Competency-based medical educational (CBME) models are being implemented more widely but variability in the uptake of CBME continues across the globe. However, most health professions educational systems have recognized the value of an outcomes-based approach using CBME models. The philosophical underpinnings of CBME continue to inform curricular and programmatic assessment changes, accreditation and certification approaches, and the credentialing of healthcare professionals. CBME has highlighted the importance of rebalancing more traditional methods of assessment with other methods of assessment, especially in the workplace. Fully implemented, CBME frameworks embrace holistic and constructivist approaches to assessment; successful assessment programs will need to incorporate a diverse range of educational and assessment theories and methods.
We are pleased to be able to share changes and advances in assessment that have occurred since 2018. Many readers let us know that one of the main benefits of both editions of this book was the practical suggestions in each chapter that could be implemented in training programs. We have attempted to stay true to that philosophy by adding new chapters and more supplemental material. All other chapters have undergone extensive revision to be up to date and practical.
Both of us have spent much of our professional lives thinking, learning, and teaching about assessment. Like many of you, much of our initial learning was through trial and error, occurring as a result of being assigned positions of responsibility in determining the competence of students and residents in internal medicine. We have also had the privilege to work within national organizations involved

in the assessment of physicians across the continuum. Assessment is not routinely seen by physicians and other health professionals as a welcome activity, especially when it comes from an external entity. Yet without assessment, feedback and coaching are almost impossible and continuous professional growth is difficult. We hope that by sharing part of our own journey and the journey of our colleagues who contributed chapters and their expertise, we can help the reader address important assessment challenges they are facing in their own context and also contribute to larger conversations around assessment as a mechanism to improve healthcare and health for all.
The primary purpose of this book is to provide a practical guide to developing assessment programs using a systems lens. No single assessment method is sufficient to determine something as complex as clinical competence. Educators will need to develop programs of assessment (i.e., programmatic assessment) by choosing the optimal combination of methods, based on the best evidence available, for their local context. This book has been organized around the various assessment methods and instruments and how individuals with responsibilities for assessment can apply these methods and instruments in their own setting. We have provided an overview of key educational theories applicable to help the reader understand how best to use the assessment method and its purpose. Each chapter provides information on the strengths and weaknesses of the assessment method, along with information about specific tools. Many chapters provide examples of assessment instruments along with suggestions on faculty development and effective implementation of the assessment method. Each chapter also contains an annotated bibliography of helpful articles for additional reading.
Chapter 1 provides an overview of basic assessment principles with
a focus on the rise and impact of competency-based education and the core components of CBME to achieve desired educational and clinical care outcomes. Chapter 2 provides a useful primer on key
https://t.me/med1917
theories and aspects of psychometrics, a discipline that remains essential to effective assessment. Chapter 3 is a new chapter on programs of assessment, or programmatic assessment, using a systems approach. Chapter 4 explores the evolving approaches to the use of rating scales, especially developmental and entrustment scales, a common component of assessment forms and surveys, highlighting the importance of appropriate frameworks and anchors. Direct observation in the workplace, especially of clinical skills, is the focus of Chapter 5 with multiple practical suggestions on how to better prepare faculty in this essential assessment skill, and this chapter also provides access to multiple videos that can be used for practice and faculty development. Chapter 6 explores the assessment of clinical skills with standardized patients, another form of direct observation in controlled settings.
Chapter 7 provides an extensive overview on the effective use of the
traditional written, standardized tests of medical knowledge and clinical reasoning, still an essential part of an assessment program. However, the need for high-quality assessment of clinical reasoning in the workplace has grown in importance with the recognition of the persistent and pernicious problem of diagnostic and management errors in clinical practice. This is the focus of Chapter 8. Chapter 9 covers the assessment of procedural competence in the workplace, another area experiencing new approaches and of major interest for medical educators in an era of concerns about appropriate supervision and patient safety.
Chapter 10 addresses the importance of assessing evidence-based
practice, an essential competency in a time of rapidly expanding medical knowledge and growing use of clinical decision support at the point of care, an area that is also being buffeted by advances in clinical support tools and augmented intelligence. Chapter 11 focuses on the multiple ways to assess performance in clinical practice using different types of quality and safety measures. The growing use of
