Medical education assessment

Abstract

One of the most critical steps for medical education is the assessment. The assessment can be divided into short-term memory, long-term memory, and retrieval memory. If the student acquires all these memories steps, the surgical skill will be mind incorporate for years. As a healthcare provider, the medical community needs to transform training and learning to a valid and reliable activity. Most of the medical evaluations are subjective; an objective assessment is difficult but most desirable. The authors described some objective surgical skill assessment based on OSAST, dexterity and global rating scale. Moreover, we discussed the formative and summative assessment roles to the medical learning process.
