SUMMARY:7th EURACT Assessment Course
DESCRIPTION:The 7th EURACT Assessment Course will be held on 5th-7th of November 2025 at the Holiday Inn in Thessaloniki\, a smart hotel in the city center\, close to the port and a short walk from the historic old city and some of the most famous historical points of interest. \n \nBackground \nAssessment\, in its functional dimension\, is a core component of a process that aims to cognitively turn learning into performance. But it is not easy to be effectively managed within its own complexity. When assessment is embedded within training and based in the work place\, it becomes a powerful tool providing ways for early identification of performance issues and evidence for relative decision-making. The integration of assessment in the curriculum enhances quality in performance in all different aspects of practice. \nLike teaching and learning needs assessment to be based on a collaborative approach\, promoting the partnership and supporting the interaction within the trainer-trainee relationship where constructive feedback serves a key role. Additional feedback from peers\, patients and other professionals adds value to the assessment process\, protects the relationship and minimalizes the effect of internal bias. \nAvailable and protected time and resources\, detailed plans and documentation\, practicing of adequate methods are crucial for an effective implementation of assessment in the curriculum. Assessors’ evidence-based training and sharing of experiences within established networks is necessary. \nEURACT offers a framework for the establishment and development of international learning and development cultures and structures in GP/FM. The EURACT Assessment course for trainers in Family Medicine is strongly recommended for those interested. International networking is an advantage to be considered and a challenge to be accepted \n Original Authors of the Course \nProf. Justin Allen\, Prof. Janko Kersnik\, Dr. Monica Lindh\, Dr. Roar Maagaard\, Dr. Roger Price\, Dr. Smiljka Radic. \nAuthors of New Modules (2019)  \nProf. Nele Michels\, Prof. Esra Saatci\, Dr. Denise Velho \nAll course material will be adapted for the 2025 course by Prof. Nele Michels\, Prof. Esra Saatci\, Dr. Denise Velho and Dr. Patricia De Gabriele (The Faculty of the Course). \nCourse Objectives \n• Understand the different purposes of assessment \n• Understand the theoretical frameworks for assessment and the terminology used \n• Understand the assessment methodology most suited for general practice/family medicine (GP/FM) \n• Develop skills in using the appropriate assessment tools \n• Practice their skills in assessment and feedback in a secure learning environment \n• Understand the impact of assessment on teaching and learning\, and on themselves as teachers \n• Be able to apply their knowledge and skills in their own context as teachers (time\, level of students\, place\, country) \n Course Contents \nIt is an entry level course aimed at teachers in family medicine who have little or no experience in the use of assessment methods.
