Rubrics for assessing learning in health professions education are often unique in that they need to align with levels of attainment of clinical skills that are developed over multi-year programs. Competency assessments and the rubrics that accompany them need to measure growth and allow for a record of reflection and feedback from multiple evaluators over the learner's progressive journey to becoming a professional. During this interactive workshop, participants will explore the conceptual underpinnings of rubrics and learn to develop a rubric for assessing achievement of benchmarks in the development of clinical competencies.
After this workshop participants will be able to:
- describe assessment scenarios in which a rubric is an appropriate measurement tool
- explain the relationship between rubrics as measurement tools for assessment and grades or marks (e.g., pass/fail) as a way to report student learning outcomes
- design a course or program-level rubric
