Clerkship Evaluation Modified to Assess Students Using ACGME Competencies

Working with Clerkship Directors and administrators, Student Services and others in Academic Affairs, IME developed a new clinical student evaluation to be used across all clerkships in Years 3 and 4, starting in July 2007.

With UWSMPH’s move toward building a competency-based curriculum with performance-based assessment of competencies, the ACGME competency structure was adopted when developing the new evaluation tool. The goals are to support the continuum of medical education, linking undergraduate and graduate education, and to address the national calls for medical education reform using the ACGME competency framework.

Now, faculty can assess students on areas like professionalism and interpersonal communication early in their medical training, with the intention and understanding that they will be assessed similarly as residents.
