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.
印度医学理事会(MCI)于 2019 年在全国范围内实施了以能力为基础的本科医学教育课程,能力评估是其不可或缺的组成部分。该课程概述了一些评估的基本原则和组成部分,但形成性评估和总结性评估的过程和时间表将由大学和机构决定。在本文中,我们总结了儿科学科的建议,并提出了一个可由大学和机构采用的总结性评估模型。我们还分享了形成性评估的一些基本原则,实施这些原则可能是机构面临的主要挑战。在能力本位课程原则的范围内,发展教师进行评估的能力是很重要的。
