Bryde (Bryde JD. Modelling project management performance. Int J Quality Reliab Manage 2003;20(2):229–25) has presented project management performance assessment (PMPA) model. The model proposes six criteria for assessing PM performance; based upon the EFQM business excellence model. This paper examines what is the level of impact of these criteria over the project management performance (PMP) in Pakistani listed organizations. This paper also examine the scope of the association within different criteria of project management performance assessment (PMPA) model and with project management performance (PMP) in the Pakistani listed organizations and whether this association is significant, furthermore it investigate that to which extent different characteristics of PM performance, correlate with each other and with project management performance (PMP). It is concluded that the PMPA model have a potential use as framework to assess the project management performance, by conducting empirical study and checking the impact, correlation and association of the criteria of PMPA model and PMP.

The assessment of clinical competence is becoming increasingly complex, patient cen tered, and student driven. Traditionally, clini cal evaluation methods consisted primarily of faculty observations, oral examinations, and multiple-choice tests. Increased faculty work load, discontent with traditional methods of clinical skill assessment, and developments in the fields of psychology and education have led to the formation of new modalities, namely performance assessments. The literature per taining to the performance assessment with standardized patients is reviewed. Based on this literature, several areas for the future direction of performance assessment are pro posed, including (a) toward evidence-based locally developed assessments, (b) toward an understanding of educational outcomes and noncognitive assessment factors, and (c) toward more student-driven assessments.
