Standards for teaching, learning and assessment
The following paragraphs set out the standards expected for the delivery of teaching, learning and assessment in medical education. The standards are grouped under nine 'domains'.
For each domain there are one or more broad 'standards'. Under these are the more technical 'criteria' by which we will judge whether medical schools are meeting these standards, and the 'evidence' used for this. The 'detailed requirements and context' expand upon the criteria, and these paragraphs contain some important principles and requirements.
- Domain 1 - Patient safety
- Domain 2 - Quality Assurance, review and evaluation
- Domain 3 - Equality, diversity and opportunity
- Domain 4 - Student selection
- Domain 5 - Design and delivery of the curriculum, including assessment
- Domain 6 - Support and development of students, teachers and the local faculty
- Domain 7 - Management of teaching, learning and assessment
- Domain 8 - Educational resources and capacity
- Domain 9 - Outcomes
