How are students evaluated academically? How are clinical evaluations performed?
Students are evaluated in the pre-clerkship period by quizzes, problem sets, tests, and final exams. Final grades are reported as Pass/Fail for each system. In the clerkships, students are awarded grades based on evaluations by their residents and attending physicians through direct feedback and on rating forms. Objective tests are used in all clerkships and oral exams in some. In the post-clerkship period, students are evaluated by their electives supervisors through direct feedback and rating forms, using a Pass/Fail system.
