Medicine and nursing, like other professions, are shifting the focus of their training to competencies and outcomes. A program's effectiveness is demonstrated through assessments of learners' mastery of defined knowledge and skills. This set of workshops will help participants begin to make changes in their own programs around assessing the competencies that are the subject of this conference. Attendees will choose from workshops that teach the fundamentals of assessment in education. Each workshop leader will bring a particular perspective and set of experiences to this topic.
