A model to understand assessment practice in medicine

Podcast Description

Assessment in medicine and the health professions includes theoretical and clinical (practical) assessments to determine student competency – their knowledge, skills and attitudes. Assessment is therefore of critical importance, because graduates are certified as ‘safe’ for public patient care. In this episode, Dr Nici Simms discusses a study exploring the assessment behaviours of clinician-educators, using a theoretical model called ‘Health Behaviour Theory.’ Nici explains some of the multitude of factors that influenced clinician educators’ assessment behaviours across three diverse contexts in the global South.
