This course is designed to provide MS HSE students with an understanding of basic principles of measurement and assessment as it relates to both research and instruction. In this course we discuss how to use, interpret and construct valid and reliable tests. We will examine standardized and classroom assessments, how to develop customized tools as well as explore how accreditation requirements (e.g., ACGME) impact teaching and learning in Health Professions Education. Class will be a mix of lecture, discussions, group work, and in-class activities. Generally, the direction of the course depends largely on student interests and questions. Spring semester.
