Curricular Affairs is collaborating with Clerkship Directors and faculty to develop a workplace-based assessment (WBA) in clerkship. Below is a video introduction to how we plan to incorporate WBA in the clerkship assessment process as well as a literature summary and links to pertinent articles on the topic.

Active Learning in Training Sessions
Given our commitment to active learning, we will also employ an active learning approach to faculty development on the new workplace-based assessment form and process. Such active learning strategies will include opportunities to:
- Evaluate samples of simulated learner performance and develop formative feedback using criterion-based and WPB assessment principles and best practice for instructor feedback
- Share ideas for how to improve upon these applying principles of and best practice for WPB assessment and formative feedback.
- Describe how to use WPB assessment to guard against unconscious bias in clerkship grading.
- Describe anticipated challenges in conducting workplace-based assessment and generate ideas for overcoming these.
We hope this collaborative and interactive approach to faculty development will help to ensure the success of the new assessment process.
NOTE: We will post additional videos and other faculty and instructor development materials on this page as it becomes available.
