Professional development refers to training, formal education, and/or advanced professional learning intended to help clinicians, teachers, researchers, and administrators improve their professional knowledge and effectiveness. Institutions have been trying to adapt to a rapidly changing internal and external environment, with resource constraints and competitive health care. Professional development may be contextualized using adult development, educational, and organizational perspectives, and most best practices overlap. Key partners are faculty, departments, institutions, and national organizations. Interprofessional, team-based and project-based longitudinal initiatives may ignite educational innovations, and serve as a method to learn authentically in the workplace, promote socialization, and change attitudes.

Workplace-based assessments (WPBAs) in postgraduate training may not always provide an accurate representation of a trainee's capability to perform a given task, or a true measure of a trainee's overall competence in clinical practice settings. This article describes how trainers can use a theory-driven and evidence-based intervention called dynamic assessment for providing an individual with the best opportunity to demonstrate a more accurate representation of their performance, and ultimately present the best version of themselves when undergoing an observed WPBA, such as a Direct Observation of Procedural Skills (DOPS) or Mini Consultation Evaluation Exercise (MiniCEX). Dynamic assessment simultaneously combines educational support with assessment as the trainee undergoes the WPBA by using focussed questions as prompts to facilitate an individual trainee's essential coordination of their motivational and thinking processes since this is often challenged during assessments.
