Student Evaluations

Part of the education process is assessment of student learning and verification that skills learned are being observed in the clinical setting.  We rely on our Preceptors to assess the students in the clinical setting and providing them with valuable feedback.  Please complete the following evaluations and proficiencies as the student progresses in their clinical education.

Evaluations:

Each student needs to have a minimum of 2 affective evaluations completed by the preceptor.  These would be completed on 2 separate clinical nights.  Ideally one would be completed on the 4th clinical night and the other on the 8th clinical night.  Click on the link below to access the short evaluation.

Affective Clinical Evaluation

The Student experience verified by the Clinical Preceptor is a both an evaluation tool and student’s documentation of progress toward the clinical goals. 

It is designed to identify strengths and weaknesses, and to promote communication between preceptor and student. Preceptors are encouraged to discuss strengths and weaknesses so as to encourage students about their strengths, as well as provide opportunities to improve upon weaknesses.  It is the student’s responsibility to complete the Student experience verified by the Clinical Preceptor throughout each clinical night.  The student is expected to write down the feedback provided for a variety of parameters as they occur throughout the clinical night. 

Included in each Student experience verified by the Clinical Preceptor, is a list of clinical objectives (these are different for each clinical night).  The student is expected to ask the preceptor to discuss these objectives with them, when it is appropriate during the night.  The student is free to work ahead on the objectives if time allows.  At the conclusion of each clinical night, the student will ask their preceptor to verify their Student experience verified by the Clinical Preceptor, with their signature, professional credentials and an email address.
