Most medical schools in the UK are revising their undergraduate courses in response to the recommendations published by the General Medical Council Education Committee in Tomorrow's doctors. However, achievement of the objectives of curricular change is attendant on revision of the assessment process. This paper reviews traditional and more recently developed methods for assessment of medical education in the light of the General Medical Council's recommendations which relate specifically to summative assessment of the core curriculum. The importance of reliability and validity is highlighted, and the case for criterion-referenced assessment is examined.
英国大多数医学院校正在根据医学总会教育委员会在《明日医生》中发布的建议修订其本科课程。然而，课程改革目标的实现取决于评估过程的修订。本文根据医学总会的建议，特别是与核心课程的终结性评估相关的建议，回顾了传统的以及最近开发的医学教育评估方法。强调了可靠性和有效性的重要性，并审视了标准参照评估的理由。
