Podcast Description

Assessment in the field of health professions, such as medicine, is of critical importance because it has implications for the public; for example, certification of health professionals as equipped for patient care. However, within health professions, little attention is paid towards the many health professionals who are involved in assessment – most of which are unlikely to have formal educational qualifications. In this episode, Dr Nici Simms discusses findings from interviews with clinician-educators responsible for assessment in undergraduate medical programmes and identifies four key levels at which they engage with and make sense of assessment in their work.
