Summary: | Ensuring medical graduates are competent is of central importance to a number of stakeholders including medical schools, faculty, regulators, employers, students and last but not least patients and their carers. Consequently, assessment of competence is one of the main areas of focus for medical education. Recognising the significance of excellence in student assessment the ASPIRE Board identified this as one of the initial themes. The aim of the ASPIRE initiative is to encourage and reward excellence. In this article the process of agreeing the criteria for excellence in assessment is described along with examples from successful applications.
Garantizar que los graduados de medicina sean competentes es una cuestión de vital importancia para las diversas partes interesadas, facultades de medicina, profesorado, autoridades reguladoras, proveedores de servicios, estudiantes y por último pero no por ello menos importante, los pacientes y sus cuidadores. En consecuencia, la evaluación de competencias supone una de las principales áreas de atención para la educación médica. Para los responsables de ASPIRE, una de las prioridades iniciales fue reconocer el significado de la excelencia en la evaluación del estudiante. El objetivo de la iniciativa ASPIRE es estimular y premiar la excelencia. En este artículo se describe el proceso empleado para acordar los criterios de reconocimiento de excelencia en evaluación junto con ejemplos que proceden de facultades premiadas. |
