Learning Communities


Assessment Community

Co-Chairs: Kuan King, University of Iowa & Yoon Soo Park, University of Illinois Chicago

Description: The Assessment Community is broadly defined to address the research issues of individual and program performance. Examples include methodology, admission and selection of learners into the professions, evaluation of competencies, and evaluation of programs.

   

The Assessment Community provides an opportunity for Division I members with interests in the broad framework of assessment to collaborate on research projects. Often our research focuses on (but is not limited to) licensure and certification assessments, medical education programs and assessments, and general psychometric topics. These studies can be theoretical, empirical, or applied, but they all have one aspect in common – they all concern assessment in the professions.
