Prescribing competence: The pros and cons of different methods for assessment
British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.Evaluating a medical graduate’s competence in rational prescribing is challenging. With the aim to guide and inspire teachers, this narrative review explores different methods that can be used to assess prescribing competence. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages, and thus a mix of different assessment methods is needed throughout the ...
