【 摘 要 】

Oral examinations are a popular method of assessment within medicine, being capable of measuring candidates' ability to carry out tasks or develop skills (operational knowledge). One example of this is the oral examination for membership of the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP), which is designed to assess candidates' decision-making skills and the professional values that underpin these decisions. While the reliability of oral examinations has been investigated, to date, little is known about their ability to measure what they set out to measure (validity).
