Evaluation and Grades

The intent of a daily evaluation is to provide ongoing feedback so that each student learns immediately where their strengths lie and where they need to improve. Each site handles this process somewhat differently. A grade form should ideally be given daily to the faculty member with whom you work most, either at the beginning or end of each shift. An Emergency Medicine resident whom you have worked a significant portion of the day may also complete the evaluation. Completed forms will be dropped off by the evaluator and will be kept confidential. At MCG they are slipped into a locked box in the ED. The information from these forms will be compiled to determine the student’s clinical portion of the final grade.

Grades

Final grades are earned by each student based upon their total performance on the rotation. Various elements are weighed differently.
60% Clinical
30%

Final exam - Given on last Friday of the rotation (unless rotation period has been modified).
 

Currently there is no NBME shelf examination for Emergency Medicine. Therefore, an in-house written exam is given. The exam has been written by the same authors who wrote the Reading Materials
