| Summary: | This Final Report looks at the Australian Medical Assessment Collaboration. As the recent national study of medical education in Australia has affirmed, growing internationalisation of the medical profession, increasing diversification of programs and curriculums, and ever-growing pressure to prove and improve academic standards heighten the need for robust and efficient assessment in medical education (DEEWR, 2008). This project responded to the need to prove and improve the standards of medical education by establishing an Australian Medical Assessment Collaboration (AMAC). The aim of AMAC is to set foundations of a national assessment to monitor the outcomes of later year medical students in Australia. This project included scoping work, wide-ranging sector engagement, international involvement, faculty training, development of initial criterion-referenced assessment frameworks, and the compilation and validation of sample test items. This ALTC project provided the foundation for what will be the ongoing development and implementation of an item library that will provide a sustainable and robust means of assuring the standards of medical education in Australia. |
