This thoroughly revised edition is a valuable resource for developing, implementing, and sustaining effective systems for assessing clinical competence in medical school, residency, and fellowship programs.
Key Features
- Helps medical educators and administrators answer complex, ongoing, and critical questions in today’s changing medical education system: Is this undergraduate or postgraduate medical student prepared and able to move to the next level of training? To be a competent and trusted physician?
- Provides practical suggestions and assessment approaches that can be implemented immediately in your training program, tools that can be used to assess and measure clinical performance, overviews of key educational theories, and strengths and weaknesses of every method
- Covers assessment techniques, frameworks, high-quality assessment of clinical reasoning and procedural competence, psychometrics, and practical approaches to feedback
- Includes expanded coverage of fast-moving areas where concepts now have solid research and data that support practical ways to connect judgments of ability to outcomes—including work-based assessments, clinical competency committees, milestones and entrustable professional assessments (EPAs), and direct observation
- Offers examples of assessment instruments along with suggestions on how you can apply these methods and instruments in your own setting, as well as guidelines that apply across the medical education spectrum
- Includes online access to videos of medical interviewing scenarios and more, downloadable assessment tools, and detailed faculty guidelines
- An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud

Book Reviews
Review of the previous edition:
"The book provides a state-of-the-art guide to competency-based outcomes assessment programs in the health professions. If followed, this guide will help any medical educator in the health professions identify better ways to implement assessment methods and measurement tools. What is also important about this book is that it provides conceptual models and popular approaches to assessment. The authors are practitioners who themselves have clearly struggled with improving and implementing effective measures of performance in the health professions and offer the best evidence from the literature as well as from their experience, resulting in this authoritative, excellent, practical guide to a compendium of assessment methods." --Reviewed by Klara K Papp, PhD (Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine) Doody's Score: 93, 4 Stars!
