Our study did not find an association between self- and WPB assessment, supporting Bingham et al's findings, where trainees assessed themselves more harshly, while their supervisors assessed of trainees as 'at or above expected level' for 'every item in every term' (43% vs 98.5%) [ 23].
14 15 These differences may be explained by the small cohorts of trainees assessed (n=8 41), variation in competency progression and quality of training.
The trainees assessed improvement of their performance mainly by evaluating their self-confidence during the consultation,and by using guidelines or handbooks.
The training was followed by viewing a DVD module consisting of mock scenarios with the trainees assessing for opportunities and indications for HH and rating the compliance of HCPs with HH.
Evaluation forms that exactly reflect stated objectives ensure that trainees are assessed using standardized measures and that trainees are aware of the learning expectations.
When some facilities did not have five patients under five years of age on assessment days, a few trainees were assessed on children over five years.
Strategic Planning: It is recommended that a Global Health Education Working Group be developed within CORD to improve and integrate the process by which educational electives are offered and evaluated and promote the standardization with which resident trainees are assessed.

After the field exercise, trainees were assessed using a final set of 50 digital photographs that were projected and graded independently by the trainer.
At the end of the day trainees were assessed using a multiple-choice examination and a formal test scenario evaluating actual practical skills and their integration into a clinical context.
During the study period 32 trainees were assessed, of which 25/32 (78%) held a valid ALS certificate.
