    [415] Re-Run of Episode 211 Can Assessment Get with the Program?

    Programmatic assessment (PA) is one of the big 5 features of the competency-based era. (The other 4 components of CBME are: outcome competencies, sequenced acquisition of expertise, tailored teaching/coaching, and learning activities.)
    So, what is this “programmatic assessment” stuff? The promise of PA is that it is a supposed to be better way of organizing assessment.

    {412] Re-run of Episode 240 Debriefing and feedback – two sides of the same coin?

    Linda Snell's chosen paper was the 2nd paper reviewed at KeyLIME LIVE at the ICRE 2019 in Ottawa.
    Feedback and debriefing –both essential for learning and improving future performance … are the underlying theories and actions unique, or is there a need to reconceptualize into a shared framework?

A must for medical educators

KeyLIME is a must for medical educators. Articles chosen address Issues that are on everyone’s mind. Discussions are always lively and insightful. If I’m not learning something new, I’m reminded of something invaluable. The podcast gets better with time.

jameslhuffman ,

Amazing content, improving (but not yet quite right) audio

One of the highest yield resources (not just podcasts) for medical educators available. Audio is light-years better than it was a year ago, but still not awesome (tends to be Jason's connection).

Short, digestible and completely worthwhile with impact. This is a "must" for medical education scholars or those aspiring to that role.
