Multiple choice type questions (MCQs) are commonly used in high stakes examinations in medical education. Many health professional educators (HPE) are not confident in constructing MCQs that are reliable, valid, defensible and fair. The workshop will provide an overview to the process of blueprinting for the examination, constructing the MCQs, standard setting and interrogating the psychometrics and is relevant for educators using this form of assessment.
