Sat, April 6, 10:25 to 11:55am, Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Floor: 800 Level, Hall F

Session Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

Whereas traditional models of educational programs primarily focus on the knowledge objectives that students should meet, competency-based education places desired performance outcomes at the forefront of curriculum decisions. The shift towards competency-based education requires an associated shift in the way learning is taught and assessed. This session will discuss challenges to developing assessment systems within a competency-based environment in the health professions.
