SELF-ASSESSMENT STUDY GUIDELINES

Introduction

Accreditation and quality assurance procedures aim to: ensure that medical schools meet conditions of quality and accreditation standards and develop procedures of self-assessment study at medical schools. Because a self-assessment report at medical schools is a base for external assessment, representatives of administration, students, faculty members, etc. should participate in self-assessment study and focus on:

1.     collecting and analyzing data about the medical school.

2.     defining strengths, weaknesses, and current problems.

3.     defining strategies for reinforcing strengths and solving weaknesses and problems.

 

Components of Self-Study Assessment Report

A medical school must submit its self-assessment study report of (100) pages in maximum supported with an approval document signed by the rector of the related university confirming that he/she knows about writing this report. The report should involve the following:

1.     Cover.

2.     List of contents.

3.     One-page overview on higher education institution and the related medical school supported with statistics.

4.     Brief description of self-study preparation (2-3 pages) showing the way different parties (i.e. academic leadership, administrative staff, faculty members, students, graduates) cooperate in the preparation process.

5.     General information on the medical school (5 pages): date of establishment to present, main areas of self-study assessment results focusing on school institutional structure, academic programme, and financial resources.

6.     The body of report forms the core report. It is composed of (9) parts; each part covers an accreditation standard of medical schools and shows how a medical school achieves it supported with documents and evidences as will be shown in detail later. Each part seeks to clearly and directly respond to questions of each item in each standard (indicators) as shown in instructions attached. This in turn helps the self-assessment study committee and other sub-committees to be aware of standards, and data gathering, and evidences required to prove the school achievement of each standard. In this relation, all answers must be listed after each standard. Moreover, such answers must be based on evidences, related interpretations, references to other parts in the report, and clear links to supporting documents introduced to identify strengths, weaknesses, and strategies for future treatment of each filed.

 

7. Conclusion

It involves an important summary of what is said in all report parts to show:

·        school strengths, weaknesses, needs and strategies for development and  sustainment.

·        any changes and developments from the previous assessment course, if any.

·        any local, national, and international changes that could create problems for the higher education institution.

·        any other future suggestions.

 

8. Appendices

Appendices involve evident documents classified based on standards.

A medical school must prepare a room for other evidences, classified based on standards, that cannot be shown in the report due to their big sizes but they are important for indicating academic accreditation standards achievement. Moreover, the show-room must be prepared with sufficient equipment for the assessment team and equipped with a computer, printer with Net facility.
