‘Ozzawa 2008 – Assessment for Life', the 13th International Ottawa Conference on Clinical Competence, will be hosted by Monash University and The University of Melbourne, Victoria. However it will be very much an Australian affair – hence the title.
The Ottawa Conference was conceived in 1984 by Ronald Harden and Ian Hart to encourage global sharing of expertise on the assessment of clinical competence in medicine. The first was hosted in Ottawa in 1985. It is held biennially, alternating between North America and elsewhere.
The main theme of the 2008 Australian conference stems from a wish by the organizing committee to return to the original roots of the Conference. This was to assist the international community to design research and discuss improvements in the assessment of clinical competence. So ‘Ozzawa 2008 – Assessment for Life' will spotlight the centrality of assessment in academic and professional life.
“OZZAWA 2008 -Assessment for Life”:
The Life of the Patient
The Life of the Professional
The Life of the Programme |
We know that assessment of individuals is a vital part of quality assurance in healthcare education. However the Conference will also recognize that, increasingly, achievement, both in education and in clinical outcomes, is dependent on teamwork and collaboration with other professions, and with learning, working and being assessed as part of that team. So in addition to its focus on Assessment, the conference would welcome some submissions on topics related to the development of clinical competence through innovations and educational strategies that seek simultaneously to deliver quality outcomes for patients, professionals and the health and educational systems in which we work.
Ozzawa 2008 will reflect 3 interacting themes:
The Life of the Patient will highlight the importance that respect for the patient and patient safety should have in medical and healthcare education. This theme will reflect work on assessing individual's approaches to patient safety, the role of the team in delivering a safe healthcare environment, and on innovative assessments of patient-centered and interprofessional communication. Assessing professionals' capacity to deliver quality care to people from different cultures, and considerations of the needs of indigenous peoples will also feature in this theme.
. |
The Life of the Professional will underline the importance of life-long approaches to learning and the need for challenging and rigorous assessments of healthcare professionals both in academic life and in work-related contexts. The role of assessment at work will be a central feature of the conference. The Conference will also address the implications for assessment of global initiatives in the labour market, such as the assessment of international healthcare graduates, seamless and borderless continuing professional development, and the coherence of assessment in basic and specialty postgraduate courses. This theme will also reflect the identification and rehabilitation of the poor performer.
. |
The Life of the Programme will focus on the need to develop assessments in healthcare education that are reliable, valid, and drive learning appropriately. This theme will reflect the importance of having assessments that address all outcomes of training for clinical practice, including professional behaviours and values, integrity, knowledge and clinical skills. It will also focus on the role that assessment plays in the construction and delivery of courses.

Conference Structure
The conference will welcome submissions within the above themes. It will also positively respond to submissions from professional groups other than medicine, particularly where interprofessional activities involve medical professionals learning, working and being assessed with or by others.
Ozzawa 2008, will have 3 modes of presentation, acknowledging the Australasian higher education context. It will also aim to present work of the highest quality. Posters, Short papers, and Full papers will be accepted, as well as proposals for more interactive and workshop-based activities. Full papers will be thoroughly peer reviewed. Ozzawa 2008 will endeavour to give constructive feedback on all short and full papers. |
