Session: Measuring Educational Outcomes with Reliability and Validity
Facilitator: David A. Cook, MD, MHPE

After the workshop, learners will be able to:
- Identify three types of reliability (inter-rater, test-retest, and internal consistency)
- Match types of reliability with appropriate statistical measures
- Describe the relationship between reliability and validity
- Describe multiple forms of evidence for validity
- Select an approach to reliability and validity assessment for a particular study
