Erarbeitung von Empfehlungen zu universit ren Prüfungen an der Medizinischen Fakult t Ulm [Development of recommendations for university level assessment at the Ulm Medical Faculty ]

[english] Objective: The aim of this project was to develop, within a limited time frame, recommendations based on the “Guidelines for internal assessment in the medical curriculum” of the GMA assessment committee and the Baden-Württemberg competence center for assessment in medical education. This paper describes the adaptation of generally formulated GMA guidelines to specific faculty requirements. Methods: The development of “recommendations for university assessment at the Ulm medical faculty” was performed in several steps. All departments as well as student representatives were involved in this stepwise process of guideline adjustment , , therefore securing a broad participation in this change management process , . Finally, the recommendations were approved by the official faculty board.The entire process took eight months. All participants received compensation for their time from official teaching funds. Results: After passing the faculty board, the assessment recommendations based on the GMA quality standards were published as an examination standard for students and examiners. Among faculty members, there was consensus to improve assessment quality according to the recommendations and to participate actively in the process of guideline implementation. Several assessment-improving projects have commenced as a result of this commitment. Conclusions: We showed that it is possible to develop assessment recommendations based on GMA quality standards within a few months if those who are responsible for the implementation are promptly involved in the development process and if it is possible to integrate the recommendations into existing structures.
