Assessment and Evaluation

The Assessment, Evaluation and Curriculum (AEC) Office was established in 2020 to centralize the functions and support the management of the Undergraduate Medical Education (UGME) student assessments, faculty evaluations, and the MD Program curriculum.

The office also manages Program Evaluation, UGME’s professional accreditation as well as uOttawa’s Institutional Quality Assurance for the MD Program. The centralized nature of these various components allowed for a natural fit for UGME’s Translation Team as well.

The AEC Office is responsible of the Assessment and Evaluation of students, faculty as well as programs.  This allows the AEC Office to first ensure that student assessment methods in the Undergraduate Medical Education (UGME) curriculum are designed, managed, evaluated and revised in a coordinated fashion; and, second to ensure faculty evaluation methods (teachers, preceptors, tutors, lecturers) are designed, managed, evaluated and revised in a coordinated fashion. These tasks should be consistent with accreditation and current educational standards.

For more information concerning student assessment and faculty evaluation, please contact the Exam Coordinator [email protected].

Faculty evaluation

Students must evaluate faculty members and their courses in a mature, constructive, and respectful manner. These evaluations include rating scales and comments. This information is used to improve courses and to recognize effective instructors.

Students evaluation

Students are evaluated regularly based on their knowledge, skills, and behaviours. Evaluations take various forms and are based on high-stakes and low-stakes assessment methods. These may include questionnaires, multiple-choice questions, clinical decision-making questions, essays, objective structured clinical examinations, entrustable professional activities, direct observations, and so forth.
