Lectures and seminars Jerome Rotgans: Implementing programmatic assessment
The COVID-19 pandemic constituted a stress test for medical education, especially for assessment. Exams needed to be postponed or even cancelled. In this talk Jerome Rotgans will present how a medical school can make a relatively easy transition to multisource progress assessment, based on results on a large number of low-stake tests.
The COVID-19 pandemic constituted a stress test for medical education, especially for assessment. Exams needed to be postponed or even cancelled. This was a problem because many schools rely on decision making with regard to student performance and their progress using only a few high-stake examinations.
In this talk Jerome Rotgans will present how a medical school can make a relatively easy transition to multisource progress assessment, based on results on a large number of low-stake tests. Such tests are often integral parts of the curriculum, but hidden because they are not used for decision making. Jerome Rotgans will present how results of such low-stake tests can be combined and visualized to allow for more comprehensive (and potentially more reliable and valid) assessment decisions.

Jerome Rotgans
Jerome Rotgans started his research career by investigating the role of student motivation in learning. In particular, he investigates how situational interest can be triggered in active-learning environments, such as problem-based learning and team-based learning. In the last decade he gradually moved to medical education and intensified his research on clinical reasoning. He has established one of the first neuroimaging research programs to study diagnostic reasoning in medicine.
Besides his research, Jerome was the Assistant Dean, Assessment and the Lead Study Skills Counsellor for the MBBS program at Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, Singapore. In 2019 he was awarded the KIPRIME fellowship of the Karolinska Institutet. Jerome is now adjunct Professor at Gulf Medical University and adjunct Associate Professor at Erasmus University Medical Center, as well as the Head of Psychometric Services Singapore.
