Course and Clinical Evaluations

At the end of each course, students are required to complete a course and a course director evaluation. An anonymous compilation of the evaluations is provided to Course Directors, the Director of the Didactic Curriculum, and the Program Director. Evaluations are reviewed and used to make improvements to individual courses, as well as the overall curriculum. Therefore, constructive student feedback provided by learners is extremely important. Students provide evaluations of clinical rotations using clinical education management software (i.e., Exxat). Constructive feedback is important in the evaluation and continued use of clinical sites. Failure to complete required evaluations may result in a course grade of “incomplete” or “in progress” until the evaluation(s) is/are completed. Repeated inability to complete required evaluations within the designated timeframe will be considered a violation of professional conduct and will be addressed accordingly. (refer to Professionalism section). Clinical evaluations of preceptors are distributed to preceptors during each summer semester. Students will remain anonymous, and scores and comments will only be provided after a preceptor has had a minimum of 3 students.
