Assessment for Learning in Medical Education: Supporting Students’ Growth and Development

Formative assessment — also known as assessment for learning — creates a continuous improvement cycle that helps learners identify knowledge gaps, track their progress and refine their clinical skills throughout their educational journey. While both summative and formative assessment play important roles in helping to ensure they are equipped for future practice, formative assessment uniquely empowers student growth by providing timely feedback that can actively guide both teaching and learning. 

Join us as we explore the ways in which assessment for learning not only evaluates, but also elevates the next generation of physicians. 

During this webinar, followed by a live Q&A, we will discuss:

• Formative assessment's enhancement of medical education through tailored teaching, equitable growth opportunities and critical skill development.
• Strategies and practices that can help educators implement formative assessment within their classrooms and curricula.
• Recent NBME research dedicated to formative assessment and how we’re using it to develop innovative solutions to augment our current portfolio.
