What is the added value of a standardized approach to assessment of professional behaviors?
A standardized approach creates a common understanding and vocabulary that can focus discussion and attention around professional behaviors within programs, departments, and institutions. Also, our approach benefits from rigorous field testing across specialties and healthcare settings in about 30 programs, a breadth of testing hard for other assessments to achieve. Our program addresses ACGME competencies and LCME and Joint Commission requirements, and will continue to benefit from ongoing research and NBME’s expertise.
