Welcome to McMAP 6.0

One of the key aspects of McMAP is for our developers to use evidence-based educational concepts.  That said, the evidence-base for portfolios and workplace-based assessment are rapidly evolving.  Therefore, the McMAP collaborators have made a conscious effort to be scholarly in our approach throughout this process.
