Construction of single best answer (SBA) question workshop by department of medical education

The single best answer (SBA) question, otherwise known as one best answer (OBA) question, is popularly used in undergraduate and postgraduate medical education assessment. It is an assessment tool for the cognitive domain that is best used to assess problem-solving and higher-order thinking skills. Therefore, constructing a high-quality SBA question can be daunting for academicians, especially if no prior training is given, as it necessitates a solid understanding of the learning outcomes (LOs).
