Session Type: Symposium
Equitable assessment is an elusive goal in professions education. In medical education, evidence of inequities in assessments is mounting; learners who are marginalized by racism, sexism, ableism, and other oppressive systems experience inappropriate, insufficient, and biased narrative assessments and disparities in quantitative scoring of performance. Driven by this evidence, many are investigating and dismantling sources of inequity in assessments. However, how does one design new, more equitable assessments, without replicating familiar patterns of inequity? One approach is justice-oriented assessment, which takes proactive measures to build culturally responsive, explicitly antiracist assessments. This symposium explores justice-oriented assessment: what it is and how it can be operationalized, using case studies of two programs in medical education that are building justice-oriented assessment systems.
