The same evaluation tools are used in every course. Preceptors and faculty perform evaluations of students completing clinical hours using the criteria below.
Critical Behaviors - Please Review. The critical behaviors contain 7 categories with expectations listed in each category that the student must be able to Satisfactorily complete/exhibit. The behaviors begin in fundamentals "with guidance" and as the student progresses more and more independence is expected. The chart shows the comparison between each level of our program and the progression of expectations. The final evaluation you will be asked to submit from your perspective after working with the student will be based on these critical behaviors.
