SHEE Journal

In this issue, the team has focused on the theme: "Workplace-Based Assessment". Workplace-based assessment (WBA) is an essential evaluation tool, particularly for clinical health science students who must develop the skills to care for patients in real-life situations. While WBA has been used in Thailand for many years across various curricula, there are still challenges related to misunderstandings that create unnecessary burdens for instructors and hinder the effectiveness of student learning. A deeper understanding of these tools is believed to benefit training programs, instructors, students, and ultimately, the patients that students will care for in the future.

This issue of SHEE Journal presents key insights into WBA, including:

• The significance of workplace-based assessment.
• Choosing appropriate assessment tools.
• The relationship between WBAs and Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs).
• Detailed explanations of various assessment tools.
• The use of technology to support WBA implementation.

The content includes contributions from faculty members and physicians at the Siriraj Health science Excellence center, Siriraj Medical School, and other external experts. This comprehensive approach aims to provide valuable guidance for health science educators in designing and implementing effective WBA systems, enhancing both teaching and learning outcomes.
