Evaluation Process
The house staff & faculty with whom they work will evaluate each student’s performance. Evaluation forms on each student will be electronically submitted to the Pediatric Education Office. Students can make appointments to review evaluations as the rotation progresses. Dr. Wilson will be glad to meet with students individually regarding performances or evaluations. Dr. Wilson compiles a summary paragraph, based on all evaluations at the end of the rotation. The paragraph will accompany the final grade to the Deans office.
APPEALS PROCESS
If a student does not feel that a given evaluation or the final grade accurately reflects their performance on the clerkship, the student should first talk with the course director about these concerns. The student will be asked to write a letter to the course director, after which the specific questions or problem areas will be reviewed. This may include asking attendings or residents to re-evaluate a student, or soliciting additional evaluations from other faculty or housestaff. Further appeals may be made to the Pediatric Education Council or the Dean of Student Affairs.
