    ClinicalKey Student equips medical faculty and students with the resources

they need to enhance the teaching and learning experience

    Elsevier, the information analytics business specializing in science and

health, announced today the launch of new assessment capabilities available on

Medical Education). These new capabilities support medical faculty and students

by enhancing the teaching and learning experience with tools tailored to

develop and assess the knowledge of aspiring medical professionals.

    Building upon the platform's successful history of helping students to

learn by giving them access to evidence-based medical content, the assessment

capabilities enable faculty to easily build and assign assessments in a way

that supplements their curriculum. It also helps them to identify topics their

students are struggling with through detailed performance dashboards and

cumulative data. Faculty have the freedom to select questions, building bespoke

assessments based on the wide array of content and the needs of their class. In

addition, students can supplement their learning by creating their own quizzes

to address areas of weakness identified while using the platform or though

standard examinations.

    "Medical education and learning habits have changed dramatically," said

Elizabeth Munn, Managing Director, Education, Elsevier. "We believe that

providing students and faculty with the tools to deliver frequent formative

assessments that give faculty insights into their students learning strengths

and weakness is critical to the development of the medical professionals of the

future."

    To understand student and faculty needs, over 200 hours of user research

were conducted globally to develop the new assessment capabilities, ensuring

the platform delivers on the promise to the user and provides an experience

that can be seamlessly integrated into their day-to-day learning.

    The new assessment capabilities on ClinicalKey Student will be available

March 2019 in the following regions: Europe, the UK, Australia and New Zealand.

Further launches are planned in the Middle East and Africa.
