Arab Board of Health Specializations / Assessment Unit

The Assessment Unit at the General Secretariat of the Arab Board of Health Specializations is a cornerstone in achieving the digital transformation of the evaluation system and developing mechanisms for knowledge-based, practical, and clinical examinations in line with the highest global standards in medical education.
The unit aims to support all medical specialties accredited by the Arab Board by providing advanced digital assessment tools tailored to the needs of each specialty. These tools enhance the efficiency of training and continuous learning for physicians across various disciplines.
The unit provides comprehensive logistical, technical, and scientific support to the scientific councils and different specialties. It contributes to building an intelligent assessment system that ensures transparency, quality assurance, and accurate feedback supported by artificial intelligence.

First: Comprehensive Digital Support for Examinations
The Assessment Unit enables the scientific councils to conduct knowledge-based digital exams and manage practical and clinical exams digitally using the latest and most advanced global technologies. The unit aims to achieve transparency in processes and fairness in evaluation, providing precise psychometric analyses supported by AI algorithms, enhancing quality assurance, and improving data-driven decision-making systems.

Second: Development of Smart Formative Assessment Programs
The unit offers innovative formative assessment programs powered by artificial intelligence, providing real-time feedback to trainees, training centers, local committees, and sponsoring institutions. These programs transform assessment into a tool for learning, fostering self-awareness and continuous professional development for physicians.

Third: Computer Adaptive Testing Platform
The unit has developed an advanced and innovative platform for Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT) that aligns with the latest global trends in measurement and evaluation. This platform distinguishes the Arab Board internationally by applying modern measurement theories to accurately identify competencies using intelligent analysis programs designed and developed within the Arab Board — reflecting its leadership in digital medical assessment.

Vision
To position the Assessment Unit of the Arab Board as a leading model in digital medical evaluation, integrating technical precision, scientific depth, and artificial intelligence to achieve the highest standards of trust, quality, and institutional excellence at both regional and international levels.
