Conclusions: In a sense, there is in-built cynicism in SET, with more favourable SET for easier assessment. There is emerging evidence that SET is inversely proportional to the performance of students in subsequent courses, i.e. the higher the ratings, the poorer the students perform in subsequent studies. It is proposed that SET should be combined with contemporaneous formative and summative assessments of student performance in medical school settings, especially in psychiatry education.application/pdfen-AU© The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists 2020psychiatrymedical educationstudent evaluation of teachingconcurrent student performancesubsequent student performance202010.1177/10398562209243272020-12-13
