This report describes the results of the project 'Assessment of Undergraduate Medical Education: Re-inventing the Wheel?' funded by the Nuffield Trust. The project was initiated in order to obtain information on current assessment practices in medical schools across the UK, to determine the extent of change as a consequence of the curricular reforms recommended by the General Medical Council (GMC) in 1993 and, if necessary, to stimulate debate about assessment and provide an impetus for change. The data obtained provide a detailed profile of the timing and nature of assessments used in medical schools and provide information for comparison with the survey of basic medical education in the British Isles carried out in 1977 and any subsequent studies. The study provides confirmatory and unexpected evidence. Schools are clearly revising their curricula consistent with recommendations made by the GMC. The main components of the study were as follows: a postal questionnaire sent to all UK medical schools, a national workshop, and four case studies of innovative assessment practices.
本报告介绍了由纳菲尔德信托基金资助的“本科医学教育评估：重新发明轮子？”项目的成果。该项目旨在获取英国各地医学院当前评估实践的信息，确定1993年英国医学总会（GMC）建议的课程改革所带来的变化程度，并在必要时激发关于评估的辩论，为变革提供动力。所获得的数据详细描述了医学院使用的评估的时间安排和性质，并为与1977年在英伦三岛进行的基础医学教育调查及后续任何研究进行比较提供了信息。该研究提供了证实性和意外性的证据。各学校显然正在根据GMC的建议修订其课程。该研究的主要组成部分如下：向所有英国医学院发送的邮政调查问卷、一次全国研讨会以及四个创新评估实践的案例研究。
