Evaluation

Students are assessed on their performance in the FMC and in the community setting largely on the basis of the quality of their clinical assessment of patients and the professional manner in which they carry out their responsibilities. Students are graded as either Pass or Fail on each of the 4 components of the Family Medicine Clerkship (Family Medical Centre 2-week block, community 4-week block , the project, and the end of rotation examination). Students must pass all four. A failure in any one aspect will constitute a failure of the rotation. If granted remediation, the remediation will be tailored to the particular learning needs of the clerk.

Clinical Clerk Assessment Form

The 2 week Family Medical Centre block and the 4 week Community block will be evaluated using the standard clinical clerkship assessment form. The 4 week rotation will also include a mid rotation feedback form that needs to be completed by the preceptor. A student will be deemed to "Not Meet Expectations" according to the following criteria:

If the clerk "Fails to meet expectations" on any 1 of the following categories: Clinical Judgment, Doctor-Patient Relationship, Team Relationships, Professionalism

If the clerk "Fails to meet expectations" on any 2 of the remaining categories: History Taking, Physician Examination, Records and Reports, Physician as Health Advocate, Initiative and Responsibility, Self-Directed Learning, Physician as Resource Manager.

Evaluation of Preceptors and Rotation

At the end of your 2 and 4 week rotation you will be given the opportunity to evaluate your preceptors and the rotation. Evaluation of teaching is done online using One45. An email will be sent to you 5 days before the end of your rotation. The email will include your login name, password and instructions on how to use the site. If you have difficulty in accessing the One45 web evaluation, please contact Kari McLennan for assistance.
