Some of the medical colleges started to apply an integrated curriculum in their teaching and it is different in many ways from the traditional curriculums,
Therefore, how can decided if the student pass or falls in an integrated curriculum? with a real example, if that possible
Many thanks
We must following curriculum development but the assessment is the part of curriculum.

La idea de evaluación es la clave para llevarla a cabo bien. Forma parte del propio aprendizaje y si hay algún aspecto a destacar en la evaluación por competencias es el desarrollo de rúbricas que evalúan los micro-aprendizajes. Esto es medicina igual que en psicología o en matemáticas. Hay que tener claro desde el principio qué se va a aprender, por tanto, qué se va a evaluar.
The idea of evaluation is the key to carrying it out well. It is part of the learning itself and if there is any aspect to highlight in the evaluation by competences it is the development of rubrics that evaluate the micro-learning. This is medicine just like in psychology or mathematics. It is necessary to be clear from the beginning what is going to be learned, therefore, what is going to be evaluated.
If tunsulta goes in the sense of evaluating the study plan, I would tell you that the best way to do it, is based on the student's results, to give you an example would be very extensive, I recommend you to review the accreditation standards (ABET, ICACIT, etc), in them you can see a guide to save your concern.
In a personal judgment, the design of a study plan must have its own continuous improvement plan, in which its evaluation of results must be included.
Assessment and Evaluation in the integrated curriculum:
In making a long-range plan for assessment and evaluation, the teacher needs to establish a system which facilitates:
1. Each student’s learning is considered on a regular basis.
2. Information is collected on all goals and curriculum areas.
3. Information is collected in the country.
4. Information is recorded and stored.
5. Children being involved in the process.
6. Sharing and transferring information.
A long-range plan for assessment and evaluation also needs to include ongoing questioning of how
the information gained through interaction with students can be used to enhance, modify, and adapt further assessment, the curriculum, and the environment.

This case study of a teacher who engaged his students in inquiry within a technologically rich classroom was conducted over 5 weeks, including 15 regularly scheduled classes. Data include extensive teacher interviews, e-mail, and artifacts such as class notes, curriculum guides, and handouts. A retrospective analysis methodology was utilized to address what Barron et al. (1998), called the “major hurdles” in implementing project-based curricula: the simultaneous changes in curriculum, instruction, and assessment practices. In addition, a framework developed by the National Research Council’s “How People Learn” was employed to provide detail on the nature of knowledge, learner, assessment, and community centeredness of the project-based unit. Finally, the classroom environment created during a unit of astronomy was analyzed and five principles emerged: the sense of a project, the development of independent individuals, creation of a global community of learners, a cyclic nature of instruction emphasizing conceptual and procedural understanding, and the utilization of distributedexpertise.
This is very useful article:
Chapter Portfolios as a Method of Assessment in an Integrated Curriculum
The assessment should reflect the curriculum; the questions and assessment style should reflect integration. In OSCE stations, for example, you could assess accuracy, skills, behaviour, patient safety etc. at a scale of 1 to 5 for each. The short answer question should reflect integration could be about, for example, cells, structural relationship with function, or/and clinical applications.
