Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara (UAG) School of Medicine has been featured in the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) Assessment Program Spotlight for its work to strengthen assessment quality and faculty development.

Through collaboration with NBME, UAG provided item-writing workshops to approximately 95% of its faculty, including newly appointed faculty. The initiative focused on evidence-based assessment design, item analysis, and strategies to support greater consistency across examinations.

The effort also contributed to enhancements in UAG’s assessment program, including examination revisions, expanded faculty development, additional student preparation resources, and increased use of problem-based learning.

This recognition highlights UAG School of Medicine’s continued commitment to reviewing and improving its educational practices in support of student learning.
