The workshop covered assessments in simulated environments and workplace-based assessments, providing participants with an understanding of evaluating competence in health professions education. These assessments ensure that learners can apply theoretical knowledge in practical settings, thereby bridging the gap between classroom learning and real-world application. Additionally, they offer a structured approach to continuously monitor and enhance the proficiency and readiness of health professionals, ultimately improving patient care standards.
