Assessment of Problem-Solving Skills, 1

Abstract
Assessment of problem-solving skills is best done by placing an individual in a problematical situation and observing his performance. This article examines the nature of medical problem-solving, and suggests ways of categorizing the various types of problems with which physicians must be competent. A process for constructing appropriate types of text exercises is described and techniques of assessing various components of problem solving skills are illustrated.
