Student Evaluations

Mid- and Final- semester student evaluations

The student provides the preceptor with mid-term and final evaluation forms. There are two components to the evaluation tool; professionalism and patient management skills. Please be sure to complete both sections.

A passing grade for the clinical experience at the end of the semester (final evaluation) depends on a passing grade for professionalism and patient management skills per ratings specific to each course.

Professionalism is graded as ‘present’ or ‘absent.’

Clinical behaviors are graded on a 0 to 4 point scale.

0 = Unable to demonstrate behavior safely and/or accuracy, even after given guidance.

1 = Needs direct guidance in demonstrating the behavior, but considered safe and accurate.

2 = Able to demonstrate behavior safely and accurately with minimal assistance.

3 = Demonstrates behavior independently, but needs encouragement to trust own judgment.

4 = Consistently independent, uses sound judgment within scope of practice and legal guidelines.

Students are expected to perform at the 1 to 2 rating level during early clinical experiences. As students progress in the program, they are expected to perform at a 3 to 4 rating level.
