Student Evaluation

Written examination:
Students take a multiple-choice exam at the end of the clerkship. Test questions come from material covered in core lectures, assigned readings, small group PBL sessions and patient simulator sessions.

Simulator laboratory examination:
Students are evaluated on their performance during a 15-minute case simulation on the final day of the clerkship.

PBL/simulator sessions:
Students are evaluated on their preparedness and participation in PBL/simulator sessions.

Clinical evaluation:
The attending intensivist (and housestaff) should provide regular and timely verbal feedback to students during clinical rotation. The attending further completes a written evaluation at the end of the 11-12 day clinical rotation.

Final grades are: Honors, Pass or Fail.
