EVALUATION
Evaluation of the student is made up of three unequal parts. Of predominant importance is your evaluation from those members of the house staff and faculty with whom you have worked on the wards or in the ambulatory areas. Evaluation forms are sent to the attending physician on the service or ward to which you are assigned. It is the attending's responsibility to consult with the housestaff on the ward and obtain comments and signatures from them. A minimum of one evaluation form from each four week rotation must be completed by a senior resident, a PL l, and an attending physician with whom you have worked. In the case of a split resident and attending staff as happens after January 1, the student should seek feedback from both teams. The teaching attending the student worked with the majority of the time is responsible for writing the evaluation. Other components of your final grade include the Thursday case presentation and the final examination. The clinical assessment counts 70% of your final grade; the case presentation grade is 10%, and the exam grade counts 20%. Final grading is based on percentages, with 90% or above being Honors (Honors, Pass, Fail). A High Pass mark is awarded to students achieving 86.2 89% mark If a student fails any portion of the rotation, this portion must be made up in a fashion that meets with the approval of the Student Clerkship Committee. You can be your own best advocate in this process by actively seeking feedback midway through each rotation and at the end. Asking residents and attendings for specific examples of your strengths and weaknesses is critical. See the midrotation feedback form. In addition, GW has been circulating an "uniform evaluation form" available on the web. This is a data collecting form which is analyzed by the GW Education Office to aid the clinical services in assessing their teaching status. This data is fed back to faculty and residents regarding their performance. Your feedback on both these forms is very important. If you have any questions regarding the forms we will be happy to answer them and we do appreciate your cooperation in this regard. YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO TAKE THE PEDIATRIC EXAM ON THE LAST THURSDAY OF THE ROTATION IF YOU DO NOT COMPLETE THE EVAUATION FORM BEFOREHAND. FINAL EXAMINATION Currently, a multiple choice NBME pediatric shelf test (which reflects cognitive knowledge) is given. It is difficult for any one exam to reflect your experiences at Children's Hospital but you should have some recognition of exam items if you have attended to your work faithfully. Studying for the exam using the clerkship curriculum and the clinical problems handout may be helpful in identifying areas you haven't experienced or learned. This self assessment is critical to your learning here and life long. The NBME shelf test examination counts 20% of the final evaluation but a failing score may result in a Conditional grade, necessitating re taking the exam. GUIDELINES REGARDING FINAL
