Assessing learning of diagnostic tests

Don Campbell wants to know if anyone has assessed understanding of diagnostic tests:
This is my first contribution to this group. I am not attending the conference this year.I would be particularly interested in the assessment of learning in the understanding of the behavior of diagnostic tests: and the evaluation of articles about diagnosis.If this is the wrong place to contribute this thought, my apologies. Any suggestions gratefully received.best wishesDon Campbell
