Présentation de l'éditeur

“Based on George Miller's conceptual pyramid for clinical competence (knows, knows how, shows, and does) as an organizational structure, this book provides a succinct overview of assessment methods, including basic concepts and principles, assessment instruments with their psychometric properties, and sample applications. An excellent, concise and practical guide for teachers and educators in all the health professions.” Ara Tekian, Mhpe, PhD University of Illinois at Chicago, Usa “This book packs a big punch for its size. It not only provides brief descriptions of a multitude of assessment techniques currently in use in medical education but also provides samples of questions or check lists where appropriate . . . each chapter ends with a list of sources of additional information for those who are interested.” Medical Education Online This practical guide provides a simple, useful reference to commonly raised questions about medical student assessment.
