Seeking ideas to replace 'outdated' method of assessing candidates' written communication skills

  • 1.  Seeking ideas to replace 'outdated' method of assessing candidates' written communication skills

    Posted 04-16-2025 02:47 PM

    We're looking to replace the independent writing assignment that follows our interview day group discussion of a prompt with something more aligned with evaluating today's pharmacy school candidates' communication skills.

    Any suggestions for alternative assessment methods to consider in place of the traditional written essay are very welcome!

    Thank you,

    Heidi
