    Is Longitudinal Assessment Working? Remediation, Diplomate Feedback, and Lessons Learned

    Thursday, September 26, 2024
    8:30 AM - 9:30 AM CT
    Location: International Ballroom
    Description: The American Osteopathic Board of Family Physicians (AOBFP) pivoted to longitudinal assessment (LA) in 2020. The AOBFP LA is modular in format, providing practitioners with the opportunity to tailor their assessment toward their practice profile.

    As the purpose of the Board’s LA program is to support a diplomate’s continuing professional development in the specialty while ensuring ongoing proficiency, a key piece of the assessment is remediation. In this session we present information on how diplomates perform initially and after remediation, the use of educational materials during the assessment (rationales, linked articles, etc.), diplomate feedback about their experiences, and our lessons learned and plans for improvements.

    Learning Objectives:

    • Understand the AOBFP’s LA model, including opportunities to demonstrate remediation
    • Recognize how diplomates use remediation materials and their subsequent performance
    • Identify key feedback mechanisms and metrics to develop next steps for LA program improvement
