How we assess students using an holistic standardized assessment system

This article describes an approach for standardizing the assessment system. It consists of a set of longitudinal assessment tools used throughout the 5.5 year competence-based program, such as portfolio, Hall-Tonna Values Inventory, ALBALÁ (an electronic database to register and assess every student's clinical encounter with any patient, anywhere), OSCE and accumulative written test, as well as a set of assessment tools used according to each particular type of course.
