St-Onge, Christina; Chamberland, Martine; Lévesque, Annie; Varpio, Lara – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2016
Performance-based assessment (PBA) is a valued assessment approach in medical education, be it in a clerkship, residency, or practice context. Raters are intrinsic to PBA and the increased use of PBA has lead to an increased interest in rater cognition. Although several researchers have tackled factors that may influence the variability in rater…
