THE NATIONAL ACADEMIES

Advisers to the Nation on Science, Engineering, and Medicine

The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating society of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the general welfare. Upon the authority of the charter granted to it by the Congress in 1863, the Academy has a mandate that requires it to advise the federal government on scientific and technical matters. Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone is president of the National Academy of Sciences.

The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding engineers. It is autonomous in its administration and in the selection of its members, sharing with the National Academy of Sciences the responsibility for advising the federal government. The National Academy of Engineering also sponsors engineering programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research, and recognizes the superior achievements of engineers. Dr. C. D. Mote, Jr., is president of the National Academy of Engineering.

The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of Sciences to secure the services of eminent members of appropriate professions in the examination of policy matters pertaining to the health of the public. The Institute acts under the responsibility given to the National Academy of Sciences by its congressional charter to be an adviser to the federal government and, upon its own initiative, to identify issues of medical care, research, and education. Dr. Harvey V. Fineberg is president of the Institute of Medicine.

The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of Sciences in 1916 to associate the broad community of science and technology with the Academy’s purposes of furthering knowledge and advising the federal government. Functioning in accordance with general policies determined by the Academy, the Council has become the principal operating agency of both the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering in providing services to the government, the public, and the scientific and engineering communities. The Council is administered jointly by both Academies and the Institute of Medicine. Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone and Dr. C. D. Mote, Jr., are chair and vice chair, respectively, of the National Research Council.

Acknowledgments

After 2 short years of working together, our Global Forum is making its mark on health professional education. In 2013, the Interprofessional Education for Collaboration workshop summary report was among the top 10 most popular reports at the National Academies as noted by the National Academies Press. Webcast viewers of our workshops have ranged from 200 to 270 for our most recent workshop with viewers logging in from such countries as Japan, Pakistan, Sudan, Sweden, and Turkey. In addition, the activities of the Global Forum are regularly described on the Health Professionals for the 21st Century website; and the listserv of interested individuals following the activities of the Global Forum now numbers more than 1,100 persons.

Although interprofessional education remains high on the list of topics for many of our Forum members, we are now exploring other critical areas of health professional education such as innovative technologies for learning across the education-to-workforce continuum, social accountability, health disparities, and community-based learning opportunities for health professional training. This workshop summary report, Assessing Health Professional Education, is an initial foray into many of these topics, and as Co-Chairs of the Forum, we are extremely grateful to all those who worked tirelessly to make this event a resounding success.

Our sincere thanks go to the workshop planning committee co-chairs, Darla Spence Coffey and Eric Holmboe, along with the planning committee members: Carol Aschenbrener, Meg Gaines, Catherine Grus, Lucy Mac Gabhann, Lemmie McNeilly, and Pat Hinton Walker. It goes without saying that the workshop would not have been possible without the adept skills of

the Institute of Medicine (IOM) staff—Patricia Cuff, forum director; Rachel Taylor, associate program officer; and Megan Perez, research associate. And special thanks go to Patrick Kelley for his leadership in directing the IOM’s Board on Global Health, which oversees the Global Forum on Innovation in Health Professional Education. Finally, we would like to acknowledge our deep appreciation to the 45 sponsors and 61 members of the Global Forum that make it possible for us to host events like the workshop described in this report.

Assessing Health Professional Education is the summary of a workshop hosted by the Institute of Medicine's Global Forum on Innovation in Health Professional Education to explore assessment of health professional education. At the event, Forum members shared personal experiences and learned from patients, students, educators, and practicing health care and prevention professionals about the role each could play in assessing the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of all learners and educators across the education to practice continuum. The workshop focused on assessing both individuals as well as team performance. This report discusses assessment challenges and opportunities for interprofessional education, team-based care, and other forms of health professional collaborations that emphasize the health and social needs of communities.
