ASSESSMENT OF MEDICAL STUDENTS IN A NEW CURRICULUM

Abstract
Special care has been taken to promote the educational merit of assessment for students in the new undergraduate medical curriculum at Newcastle University. The main challenge to academic staff has been to develop methods of assessment which are reliable and valid indices of competence within the constraints of the educational programme objectives. Among other things, considerable attention has been given to the assessment of sciences basic to medicine through assessment instruments developed from clinical problems ‐ by no means an easy task.
