Students are assessed on their performance in the academic centre 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 (or essay), 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.
The 2 week Family Medical Centre block and the 4 week Community block will be evaluated by faculty preceptor using the clinical clerkship assessment form. The 4 week rotation will also include a mid rotation feedback form. The Program Director will fill out a final summative assessment form based on the evaluations submitted. Students completing a 6 week rotation will only have 1 final evaluation (plus the midrotation form).
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 reminding you to complete these evaluations. If you have difficulty in accessing the One45 web evaluation, please contact the Program Coordinator for assistance.
