Abstract:
Progress testing was introduced in 1999 at the Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin. This Berlin progress test medizin (PTM) started to cooperate with other Medical Schools in 2000. The cooperation grew continuously and now 13 Medical schools in Germany and Austria take part, including more than 8500 Students. This article focuses on the concept and quality of the PTM and the benefits for students and medical schools. It shows how an initial small student initiative has developed into a successful international cooperation of formative testing in medical education.
