Abstract		Slovenia has implemented a new final summative assessment for vocational training in family medicine. As all family medicine trainees work independently in practice, the assessment is focused on actual performance. The preparation included a literature search, consultation with foreign experts, consultation with tutors and trainees in general practice and testing the assessment with experienced practitioners. The assessment includes three elements:(1) a trainees report with data on population served, audit of practice and family profiles:(2) a visit to the trainees practice which includes sitting in with the trainee, and assessment of patients records, equipment and premises:(3), the final assessment, which includes an MCQ written test, OSCE station, and on oral exam with discussion about the candidates report, presentation of five cases from his/her practice and one question by each examiner to assess problem-solving skills. Initial experience h as been favourable but further work is needed for evaluation of the assessment.
