“…The psychometric properties of holistic scoring are often adequate [76], and one of the key benefits is that they allow the rater to evaluate implicit actions of the candidate, which are unnecessary or have a negative impact on patient care, something that is difficult to achieve with the use of a checklist. Global rating scores are the prevailing methodology for holistic scoring, whereby a multitude of performance factors are considered in an overall rating or evaluation of health professional competence [86,88,89,90,91,92]. Challenges for the application of global rating scales include inter-rater standardisation and appropriate consideration of the individual elements contributing to the global scale.…”

Current Trends and Opportunities for Competency Assessment in Pharmacy Education–A Literature Review

An increasing emphasis on health professional competency in recent times has been matched by an increased prevalence of competency-based education models. Assessments can generate information on competence, and authentic, practice-based assessment methods are critical. Assessment reform has emerged as an academic response to the demands of the pharmacy profession and the need to equip graduates with the necessary knowledge, skills and attributes to face the challenges of the modern workforce. The objective of this review was to identify and appraise the range of assessment methods used in entry-level pharmacy education and examine current trends in health professional assessment. The initial search located 2854 articles. After screening, 36 sources were included in the review, 13 primary research studies, 12 non-experimental pharmacy research papers, and 11 standards and guidelines from the grey literature. Primary research studies were critically appraised using the Medical Education Research Study Quality Instrument (MERSQI). This review identified three areas in pharmacy practice assessment which provide opportunities for expansion and improvement of assessment approaches: (1) integrated approaches to performance assessment; (2) simulation-based assessment approaches, and; (3) collection of validity evidence to support assessment decisions. Competency-based assessment shows great potential for expanded use in pharmacy, but there is a need for further research and development to ensure its appropriate and effective use.

“…On this issue, no conclusive results are available. Indeed, three metaanalyses conducted between 2009 and 2010 [4][5][6] showed that studies were inconclusive as to the effectiveness of simulation as an adjunct or substitution for clinical placement, due to a lack of longitudinal group follow-up, randomized control groups, and standardization of simulation scenarios. Nevertheless, the authors of these studies, and the clinical settings, tend to judge this innovation positively.…”

Background: In recent years, nursing education has undergone changes and restructuring due to changes that have occurred in clinical and academic settings. Currently, academic leaders are facing the challenges of an increasing number of students, the difficulty of recruiting teachers and preceptors to accompany students, and fewer clinical settings that can accommodate many interns at once. To come to terms with these changes, the idea of replacing clinical hours with simulation has emerged. On this issue, little conclusive data is available. The objective of this article is to clarify the contribution of simulation in clinical nursing education in preparation or substitution for clinical placement. Methods: The CIHNAL, MedLine, and PubMed databases, and Google and Google Scholar search engines were consulted between to conduct a systematic review of the literature between 2008 and 2014. Thirty-three articles were selected. Results: Students and teachers perceive the benefits of simulation as an adjunct to clinical placement in terms of effectiveness, self-confidence, and preparation for clinical practice. Substituting clinical placement with simulation does not seem to have a significant impact on clinical competency, critical thinking, knowledge acquisition, and self-confidence. Conclusions: The findings question the very concept of substitution and suggest that the strengths of clinical exposure through both simulation and clinical placement should be highlighted.
