The Competency-Based Veterinary Education (CBVE) Analyze Working Group of the American Association of Veterinary Medical Colleges (AAVMC) Council on Outcomes-based Veterinary Education (COVE) has developed a CBVE assessment toolkit. The toolkit is designed to provide curriculum committees and individual instructors with an opportune intersection of the CBVE domains of competence and various assessment techniques. College-wide curriculum committees can use the toolkit to guide programs of assessment in the larger unit, ensuring that assessment methods are aligned with intended learning outcomes throughout the curriculum. On a smaller unit basis, the toolkit allows a single instructor or team of instructors to identify domains of interest for evaluation and then to identify various assessment tools appropriate to those domains. For each of 21 different assessment tools, the toolkit provides information that includes: a description; appropriate CBVE domains and competencies; examples; documented uses; evidence of efficacy; references; and links to illustrations if available. Because the toolkit is published online, periodic updates can be made as more data become available on the efficacy of various assessment tools relative to the CBVE domains in veterinary education. From programmatic assessment to single course examinations, the toolkit is intended to assist both administrators and faculty alike in understanding how different assessment approaches can support a variety of competency domains.
