The health professions, i.e., persons engaged in teaching, research, administration, and/or testing of students and professionals in medicine, dentistry, nursing, pharmacy and other allied health fields, have never had a comprehensive text devoted specifically to their assessment needs. Large assessment texts aimed at the general education market contain many chapters that are of little interest to educators in the health professions and omit other topics of critical interest to them. "Assessment in Health Professions Education" is the first comprehensive text written specifically for this audience.
