In health professions education, educators continue to promote the development of assessment instruments with defensible evidence of validity. This ensures that the assessment instrument or test measures the intended construct. Most importantly, if the test is used as a decision-making tool and has consequences, it is important to observe a process of deciding a minimum passing score following a fair process. What is good enough?

By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

  1. Recognize the importance of robust and reliable assessment instruments with minimum passing standards based on fair and systematic processes
  2. Gain knowledge about the different structured approaches to developing assessment instruments and setting minimum passing standards
  3. Apply assessment development and standard setting approaches during the workshop
