Common assessment methods: written assessment (for example: MCQ, essay, MEQ/modified essay questions), skills/performance based asssessment (for example: OSPE/Objective Structured Practical Examination, OSCE/Objective Structured Clinical Examination, long case examination, checklist), logbook and portfolio. Students are also assessed through case reports/presentations, research projects and written papers.
