Overview

• First step• Assessment of procedure• Changes• And now…

Page 3: How to avoid pitfalls in clerkship assessment by medical students?

The setting…

• 2002, new decennial team• Creation of a unit assessing clinical and

theoretical teachings• Appointment of two mission representatives• Instauration of periodical meetings

Page 4: How to avoid pitfalls in clerkship assessment by medical students?

Key principles

• The Faculty has acknowledged the educational role of clinical clerkships

• Optimization & coordination of the clerkships:– define endpoints – create a precise logbook which incorporates the endpoints

• Transparence & feedback– assess the quality of clinical clerkships– discussion, analysis and diffusion

Page 5: How to avoid pitfalls in clerkship assessment by medical students?

Organization of clinical clerkship for medical students

• Acquisition of endpoints:• Including :

– tutorials– clinical case presentations by medical students

• Student’s exam (end of clerkship)– presence, motivation, case scenarios, achievement of

endpoints– pass or fail grading

• Clerkship quality evaluation by students

Coordinators:

• Specialty– professor– defines clinical clerkship

endpoints– analyses the feedback

together with a commission– changes the endpoints as

required

• Department– Appointed by the head of

department– Organizes the clinical clerkship:

• student assignments into groups• tutor appointments• tutorials and clinical case

presentations• Final grading on pass/fail basis

– Ascertains that pre-set endpoints are being met

Page 9: How to avoid pitfalls in clerkship assessment by medical students?

Feedback processing

• Clerkship with minimum duration of 1 month• Assessment sheet

– pre-printed (specialty, department, period)

– sent to the heads of department before the end of the clerkship period

– completed anonymously at the end of the clerkship

– Sent back to the Faculty by the (secretary of the) department

Page 10: How to avoid pitfalls in clerkship assessment by medical students?

Feedback processing(cont’d)

• Analysis via optical reader

• Manual processing of free comments

• Feedback to each head of department and department coordinator

Overview

Page 12: How to avoid pitfalls in clerkship assessment by medical students?

2006-2007 : onset of problems• Low response rate & “silent” departments• Delayed feedback towards the heads of

department• Poor reaction by the heads of department and

coordinators• Reliability of results? (no responses)• Reorganization of clinical assignments by “poles”

(clusters of activity) – Appointed pedagogic referent– Single or multiple specialty poles (clusters of

departments) endpoints assessment impossible
