Evaluation Methods

 

Students will be evaluated daily by faculty and/or residents during each ED shift. A daily log of patient encounters and procedures is also required. All case presentations and patient encounter sheets will be turned in at the end of the rotation.

•  At the end of each shift, simply hand your shift card for that day to the appropriate staff or upper-level resident. They will fill it out and drop it in the appropriate box. Please feel free to discuss your evaluation with staff at any time.
•  Preventive medicine. Students are expected to discuss preventive medicine issues with their patients. Not only is this critically important for future health and well-being, but it is also becoming a critical evaluation tool by medical governing bodies. You will be evaluated on discussions you have with your patients on issues such as smoking cessation, weight loss, diet, alcohol and drug use, and other preventive medicine issues. Feel free to refer your patients to any available resources (i.e., dietician, social work, etc.) during your conversations.

 Grades are based on the following: 

1. Completing all shifts in the allotted rotation time.
2. Submitting patient log and evaluation form with all shifts accounted for within one week of rotation end.
3. Attendance (and timeliness) at all scheduled activities.
4. Case presentation.
