Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Assessment and Evaluation

Background:

  • Medical assessment practices face a resource paradox: high-quality assessments require significant resources, yet institutions are often reluctant to pool efforts.
  • In-house examinations may not always meet quality standards due to resource limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report on a successful initiative for sharing test material across medical schools.
  • To demonstrate the feasibility and potential of inter-institutional collaboration in medical test development and administration.

Main Methods:

  • Three medical schools in The Netherlands established a partnership for progress testing.
  • Collaborative production of high-quality test items for progress tests.
  • Concurrent administration of jointly produced tests by participating and purchasing schools.
