‘Clinical Assessment and Course Evaluation’ considers the similarities and differences involved in judging the performance of clinical learners while also evaluating the education they receive. Whereas the foundation subject (“Assessing Clinical Learners”) focussed on the basics of the main assessment formats used by clinical teachers, this subject goes into greater depth on designing and implementing highly-performing assessment regimens. It also explores key issues in measuring the quality of health professional education programs and their associated assessments.

- understand and explain key characteristics of assessment methods including reliability, validity, feasibility, fairness
- design or adapt assessment programs that are appropriate for specific clinical contexts

- apply theories and principles to specific clinical education program and assessment contexts;
- access and use relevant research literature;
