Abstract

The assessment strategy for implementation of the Union of European Medical Specialists' (UEMS) Immunology curriculum is based on a combination of formative and summative assessments. The strategy comprises a combination of workplace-based assessments and knowledge-based assessments designed to ensure acquisition of key learning outcomes as defined in the curriculum. The purpose of this paper is to explicitly link the assessment strategy to the curriculum.
