Abstract:
In the recent Transactions, the Colleges of Medicine of South Africa
(CMSA) states that work-based assessment (WBA) should be
an essential part of an assessment system, alongside the national
professional examination. One of the main reasons for highlighting
this topic is the fact that assessment enables our profession to
demonstrate our accountability, and our commitment to reflecting
professional practice standards, sustaining competence, improving
performance and engaging in continuous quality improvement.
