Abstract
Seminal to the process of a health sciences curriculum evaluation is the periodic review of clinical assessment
instruments that measure competency. An assessment of quality is facilitated by using a well-structured, authentic
and reliable instrument. This process rests on designing and measuring the instrument against a sound framework
and validating it for scientific merit. This paper documents the pedagogy and the process taken in developing an
improved formative competency-based assessment instrument for the final year students of the Bachelor of Oral
Health program (BOH) at the University of the Western Cape (UWC).
