The book covers assessment blueprints, question formats, psychometric analysis, standard setting and progress testing. Dr Taha authored the chapter “Constructed Response Items,” which explains essay and short-answer formats, their applications, strengths and limitations, and how to develop questions that assess higher-order thinking.
Effectiveness of HyFlex Simulation-Based Clinical Learning in Comparison to Traditional Learning in Undergraduate Clinical Education (pp. 191–203)
Dr Mohamed H. Taha contributed to this open-access conference volume through a co-authored chapter on HyFlex simulation in clinical education. Drawing on a survey of 124 radiography students and graduates at the University of Sharjah, the chapter examines reported satisfaction and learning experiences. It discusses the potential of flexible simulation while recognising participants’ preference for face-to-face learning when acquiring practical skills.

No doctoral pathway in Health Professions Education existed anywhere in the GCC — academics and clinician-educators seeking a PhD in the field had to leave the region entirely.
Designed and launched the GCC's first PhD in HPE, then built a strategic academic partnership with the University of Dundee (UK) for joint delivery of the Postgraduate Diploma, MSc and PhD.
An internationally benchmarked doctoral pathway now training the region's next generation of medical education leaders and researchers — alongside the region's first AoME (UK)-accredited MSc in Leadership in HPE.
