Developing Learning Objectives and Evaluation: Multiple Choice Questions/Objective Structured Practical Examinations

Abstract

The practice of medicine depends on qualified doctors who strive to achieve and maintain appropriate knowledge, skills, and attitude. Competent doctors are the need of the hour and hence tests of clinical competence, which allow a decision to be made about whether or not a doctor is fit to practice are in demand. This demand poses a challenge for all involved in medical education. Therefore, assessment and evaluation of medical trainees play important role in choosing good doctors.
