The author describes some of the changes that have taken place in undergraduate medical education in the past ten years and indicates some of the areas that will probably be touched by further change. Since these changes increase the need to develop a valid and reliable method of assessing the clinical performance of medical students, the author reviews some of the studies of this type that have been reported and the methods and instruments that they have used.
