Abstract

In this introduction, the guest editors of the "Next Era in Assessment" special collection frame the invited papers by envisioning a next era in assessment of medical education, based on ideas developed during a summit that convened professional and educational leaders and scholars. The authors posit that the next era of assessment will focus unambiguously on serving patients and the health of society, reflect its sociocultural context, and support learners' longitudinal growth and development. As such, assessment will be characterized as transformational, development-oriented and socially accountable. The authors introduce the papers in this special collection, which represent elements of a roadmap towards the next era in assessment by exploring several foundational considerations that will make the next era successful. These include the equally important issues of (1) focusing on accountability, trust and power in assessment, (2) addressing implementation and contextualization of assessment systems, (3) optimizing the use of technology in assessment, (4) establishing infrastructure for data sharing and data storage, (5) developing a vocabulary around emerging sources of assessment data, and (6) reconceptualizing validity around patient care and learner equity. Attending to these priority areas will help leaders create authentic assessment systems that are responsive to learners' and society's needs, while reaping the full promise of competency-based medical education (CBME) as well as emerging data science and artificial intelligence technologies.

引入下一个评估时代。

在本导言中，“评估的下一个时代”特辑的特邀编辑根据专业和教育领导人和学者召开的首脑会议期间提出的想法，设想了医学教育评估的下一个时代，从而为特邀论文提供了框架。作者认为，下一个评估时代将明确地关注为患者和社会健康服务，反映其社会文化背景，并支持学习者的纵向成长和发展。因此，评价将具有变革、面向发展和对社会负责的特点。作者在这个特别的集合中介绍了论文，这些论文通过探索将使下一个时代成功的几个基本考虑因素，代表了通往下一个时代评估路线图的元素。这些同样重要的问题包括：(1)关注评估中的问责制、信任和权力；(2)解决评估系统的实施和情境化问题；(3)优化评估中的技术使用；(4)建立数据共享和数据存储的基础设施；(5)围绕新兴评估数据来源开发词汇；(6)围绕患者护理和学习者公平重新定义有效性。关注这些优先领域将有助于领导者创建真实的评估系统，以响应学习者和社会的需求，同时收获基于能力的医学教育（CBME）以及新兴数据科学和人工智能技术的全部承诺。

期刊介绍： Perspectives on Medical Education mission is support and enrich collaborative scholarship between education researchers and clinical educators, and to advance new knowledge regarding clinical education practices. Official journal of the The Netherlands Association of Medical Education (NVMO). Perspectives on Medical Education is a non-profit Open Access journal with no charges for authors to submit or publish an article, and the full text of all articles is freely available immediately upon publication, thanks to the sponsorship of The Netherlands Association for Medical Education. Perspectives on Medical Education is highly visible thanks to its unrestricted online access policy. Perspectives on Medical Education positions itself at the dynamic intersection of educational research and clinical education. While other journals in the health professional education domain orient predominantly to education researchers or to clinical educators, Perspectives positions itself at the collaborative interface between these perspectives. This unique positioning reflects the journal’s mission to support and enrich collaborative scholarship between education researchers and clinical educators, and to advance new knowledge regarding clinical education practices. Reflecting this mission, the journal both welcomes original research papers arising from scholarly collaborations among clinicians, teachers and researchers and papers providing resources to develop the community’s ability to conduct such collaborative research. The journal’s audience includes researchers and practitioners: researchers who wish to explore challenging questions of health professions education and clinical teachers who wish to both advance their practice and envision for themselves a collaborative role in scholarly educational innovation. This audience of researchers, clinicians and educators is both international and interdisciplinary. The journal has a long history. In 1982, the journal was founded by the Dutch Association for Medical Education, as a Dutch language journal (Netherlands Journal of Medical Education). As a Dutch journal it fuelled educational research and innovation in the Netherlands. It is one of the factors for the Dutch success in medical education. In 2012, it widened its scope, transforming into an international English language journal. The journal swiftly became international in all aspects: the readers, authors, reviewers and editorial board members. The editorial board members represent the different parental disciplines in the field of medical education, e.g. clinicians, social scientists, biomedical scientists, statisticians and linguists. Several of them are leading scholars. Three of the editors are in the top ten of most cited authors in the medical education field. Two editors were awarded the Karolinska Institute Prize for Research. Presently, Erik Driessen leads the journal as Editor in Chief. Perspectives on Medical Education is highly visible thanks to its unrestricted online access policy. It is sponsored by theThe Netherlands Association of Medical Education and offers free manuscript submission.
