On December 23, the National Agency on Corruption Prevention and the Aspen Institute Kyiv, as a part of the “Integrity and Governance” project, invited the Testing Board to take part in the “Risks of academic dishonesty at the Krok Medical Exams and the Unified State Qualification Exam (USQE)” dialogue.

During the event, the Testing Board was paying close attention to this topic, because over the last year the Testing Board has done a colossal work to improve the preventive measures against academic dishonesty.

The participants have also discussed the problems and prospects of medical education development in Ukraine and analyzed the results of the Krok Exams in 2021.

During the discussions, the participants’ views regarding the discussed issue slightly differed.

However, they were still able to find a common vector for development and collaboration to productively continue the Testing Board's work towards improvement of medical education quality in Ukraine.

The society must understand the importance of general social intolerance for any manifestations of academic dishonesty, because it is these standards that prepare students for a dignified and responsible public life.
