Portfolios are used as tools to coach and assess students in the workplace. This study sought to evaluate the content validity of portfolios as reflected in their capacity to adequately assess achieved competences of medical students during clerkships.
Methods:
We reviewed 120 workplace portfolios at three medical universities (Belgi...
Contemporary surgical postgraduate training is characterized by clear outcomes for the profession and an assessment program that shows that trainees master these outcomes. The tool used to collect assessment and feedback instruments is the portfolio, nowadays used in many countries worldwide.

European Higher Education institutions are expected to adopt a three-cycle system of Bachelor, Master and Doctor degrees as part of the Bologna Process. Tuning methodology was previously used by the MEDINE Thematic Network to gain consensus on core learning outcomes (LO) for primary medical degrees (Master of Medicine) across Europe....
When asked about criteria for assessing quality in academic research, 94 scientists working in the domain of health research but coming from different backgrounds (biomedicine, medicine and social sciences) believed that peer-reviewed articles were still the best academic achievement indicators [1]. According to Albert's study, the three interrelat...
It is often assumed that the way teachers approach their teaching is determined by the way they think about learning. This study explores how teachers of an undergraduate medical programme (UMP) think about learning, how they approach teaching and whether their conceptions of learning relate to their teaching approaches.
Quantitative data of academ...
Naast de bijdrage van Van Mourik et al. over het kennisniveau van artsen die de verkorte medische opleiding volgen, wil de
redactie in dit nummer van het TMO graag aandacht geven aan onderwerpen die te maken hebben met de academische cultuur van
artsen. Artsen en artsen in opleiding maken immers deel uit van eenzelfde wetenschappelijke of academisc...
For fifth-year's undergraduates of the medical school, a project with simulated patients (Intimate Examination Associates, IEA) was implemented in 2002 at the University of Antwerp. In this project, students from the new curriculum (NC) learned uro-genital, rectal, gynaecological and breast examination in healthy, trained volunteers and received fe...
Changing a curriculum raises the question whether the results, new curriculum student outcomes, are different from old curriculum student outcomes.
To see whether different curricula produce different outcomes, we compared test and questionnaire results of two cohorts. We wanted to know if there is a difference on knowledge and skills test results,...
One goal of undergraduate assessment is to test students' (future) performance. In the area of skills testing, the objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) has been of great value as a tool with which to test a number of skills in a limited time, with bias reduction and improved reliability. But can OSCEs measure undergraduate internship ex...
1. The profile of the 21st century medical doctor is based on international development as well as on the needs of the local society. 2. This general profile has been spelled out in well defined roles (CanMEDS). 3. These roles are in line with the Dublin descriptors for a Bachelor-Master education. 4. These roles, competences and learning outcomes...
The necessity of learning skills through "integrated skills training" at an undergraduate level has been supported by several studies. The University of Antwerp implemented undergraduate skills training in its renewed curriculum in 1998, after it was demonstrated that Flemish students did not master their medical skills as well as Dutch students wh...
