The impact of summative, formative or programmatic assessment on the Dutch National Pharmacotherapy assessment: A retrospective multicentre study
Integrating the DNPA within a traditional assessment programme is most effective when assessed summatively, as it results in significantly higher scores compared to formative assessment. In the context of a programmatic assessment programme, the scores may be slightly lower. Changing assessment programmes within a medical school influences DNPA scores. Scores increase when the assessment is summative rather than formative within a traditional assessment programme. Conversely, scores mildly decrease when the assessment programme shifts from traditional with summative assessment to non-high-stakes programmatic assessment.
