Introduction: Health science educators are often tasked with creating relevant exam items without training in question-writing, resulting in questions that are too easy or too difficult with overall low discrimination ability. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, question banks have been depleted or compromised as a result of wide-spread remote virtual testing. This interactive, skills-building workshop will provide educators with the opportunity to learn the basic steps of writing board-style examination questions and actively work together to improve their own questions using constructive peer feedback. This will help faculty towards developing versatility in item-writing skills based on curricular needs and exam stakes.
