#66 - Assess or Stress? Factors influencing assessors in low and middle income contries

#66 - In this episode, we explore the challenges medical educators face while grading students across diverse settings in the Global South. With a mix of personal quirks, varying levels of confidence, and unpredictable environments, the grading process goes beyond simply assessing knowledge. It’s about navigating complexities and adapting to ever-changing circumstances.

Join us as we uncover the intricacies of assessment, the impact of context, and the balancing act between intention and reality.
