Abstract:
Medical Council of India (MCI) implemented competency-based curriculum for undergraduate medical education nationwide in 2019, with assessment of competencies being its integral component. The curriculum has outlined some broad principles and components of assessment, but the process and schedule for formative and summative assessment is to be decided by the universities and institutions. In this document, we summarize the recommendations for the subject of Pediatrics, and propose an assessment model for summative assessment that can be adapted/adopted by universities and institutions. Few basic principles of formative assessment have been shared, the implementation of which may be the main challenge for the institutions. It is important to develop the capacity of the faculty for conducting the assessment under the ambit of principles of competency-based curriculum.
