Summary: The number of medical students seeking international opportunities has been increasing in recent years. Collaborative international programs have been developed to meet these demands. However, the benefits of these programs are limited as they only focus on student exchanges. This commentary proposes a paradigm shift to a transnational approach that involves exchanging students, faculty, and curriculum, leading to increased integration and awareness of cultural and educational approaches to treatment.

Summary: Traditional assessment approaches are not effective in capturing the nuances of learners' clinical competence. Programmatic assessment, as an alternative approach, embraces subjectivity and holistic decision making in clinical settings. However, introducing programmatic assessment is challenging for faculty and staff due to its major departure from traditional assessment practices. This study applies critical realism and Bhaskar's theory to analyze the underlying conditions and mechanisms triggered by programmatic assessment's implementation.
