Description
The Royal College of Physicians’ (RCP’s) workplace-based assessment courses are interactive 1-day workshops that will teach participants how to use a range of assessment methods in order to appraise competence and performance more effectively.
What you will learn
By the end of this course you will be able to:
recognise the differences, and the relationships, between assessment and appraisal
use appropriate methods of assessment in a way that ensures reliability, validity, transparency, feasibility and educational impact
provide good quality, useful feedback
identify and maximise opportunities for workplace-based assessments
overcome problems related to the assessment process.
It was useful as a trainee and as a trainer. Discussions from this workshop on how to give feedback systematically and how to deal with a defensive assessee […] were very practical and worth learning.
