Programmatic assessment in Medical Education – Review

Abstract

A programmatic assessment is a systematic process by which we evaluate our processes, services, and outcomes through a systematic approach with the intention of enhancing our quality and performance. With the help of a structured approach, we will be able to gather, analyze, and interpret data in order to determine strengths and weaknesses within our company's operations. As part of the organization's assessment program, a variety of methodologies will be used, including surveys, performance metrics, and peer reviews, to provide an understanding of the effectiveness of the organization as a whole. In this review, the primary objectives are to identify the benefits, the approach to their implementation, as well as areas for improvement, set measurable goals, develop strategic changes, and identify the challenges associated with implementing programmatic assessments in medical education. Through the adoption of a continuous improvement culture, this assessment program will have the ability to empower our organization to adapt to evolving challenges as well as provide better services to our stakeholders.
