Abstract:
:This report describes the results of the project 'Assessment of Undergraduate Medical Education: Re-inventing the Wheel?' funded by the Nuffield Trust. The project was initiated in order to obtain information on current assessment practices in medical schools across the UK, to determine the extent of change as a consequence of the curricular reforms recommended by the General Medical Council (GMC) in 1993 and, if necessary, to stimulate debate about assessment and provide an impetus for change. The data obtained provide a detailed profile of the timing and nature of assessments used in medical schools and provide information for comparison with the survey of basic medical education in the British Isles carried out in 1977 and any subsequent studies. The study provides confirmatory and unexpected evidence. Schools are clearly revising their curricula consistent with recommendations made by the GMC. The main components of the study were as follows: a postal questionnaire sent to all UK medical schools, a national workshop, and four case studies of innovative assessment practices.
