Workplace-Based Assessments in Psychiatry (2nd edn)
Edited by
Amit Malik, Dinesh Bhugra and Andrew Brittlebank
It has now been 4 years since
significant changes were made to the way psychiatric trainees’
skills are assessed for the MRCPsych examinations. Much teaching,
learning and assessment now occurs in the workplace in real
clinical situations, with the emphasis being on outcome as
reflected by the performance of the doctor.
This book outlines the workplace-based assessments (WPBAs) that are
required by the current competency-based psychiatry curriculum. It
has been updated, taking into account the experience gained since
these assessments began. The authors explore the theory and
practice of different assessment methods such as case-based
discussion, long-case evaluation and directly observed practice,
changes in the MRCPsych examinations and multi-source
feedback.
The second edition includes new chapters on Direct Observation of
Non-Clinical Skills (DONCS), educational supervisor reports, the
new online portfolio for trainees, workplace-based assessments in
psychotherapy and views from trainees themselves.
Readership:
This book is essential reading for psychiatric trainers and
trainees.
Part of the College Seminars Series.

"As a 'how to' manual this succeeds
well, and the detailed performance descriptors will do much to
demystify the process (and the plethora of acronyms: DOPS,
mini-ACE, and the like). ...This book should be read by assessors
and trainees."
