Abstract

The integration of technology into health professions assessment has created multiple possibilities. In this paper, we focus on the challenges and opportunities of integrating technologies that are used during clinical activities or that are completed by raters after a clinical encounter. In focusing on technologies that are more proximal to practice, we identify tradeoffs with different data collection approaches. To maximize the benefits of integrating technology in workplace-based assessment, we describe the importance of using preexisting frameworks from the fields of assessment design, implementation research, and clinical artificial intelligence governance.
