Any category with a score of “Not Met” must be accompanied by documentation in the comments section of the evaluation. Any score of “Meets Expectations” indicates that the student’s performance in this area is satisfactory. The student should work towards maintaining this level of performance in all the Domains of Practice for the remainder of the term.

MIDTERM: If a student is assigned a NOT MET [NM}* rating to any Competency, the Clinical Supervisor and the Clinical Faculty Lead (CFL) will work with the student on a Competency Success Plan (CSP) and moving forward the progress of the plan will be documented.

FINAL: If any of the competencies are scored less than ‘Meets Expectations’ (M) at the final evaluation will result in the student failing the Professional Practice course.

Evaluation of the characteristics is based on a global sense of how the student is progressing. The student must meet and achieve all expected professional practice objectives to pass the course.

At mid-term and final, the clinical supervisor is responsible for meeting with each student individually and review each other’s completed evaluations. The discussion should support each other’s assessments and comments. Clinical Supervisors and student signs each other’s evaluations. If the student and faculty do not agree with the evaluation, this may be written in the comments section. Student should receive a copy of the signed faculty evaluation and the supervisor should have a copy of the signed student evaluation. Both copies are to be uploaded in the MyCanvas dropbox by the student.

At midterm, the clinical supervisor can assign either a “Meets Expectations (M)” or “Not Met(NM)” grade. If students is not meeting the identified weekly objectives, the student works with the Professional Practice Coordinator and Clinical Faculty Lead (CFL) to complete a Competency Success Plan (Appendix A) that will clearly outline what skills/abilities the student must demonstrate by the end of the term to be successful. The Clinical Supervisor must submit a Midterm Progress Grade on Canvas for each student. Any students being assigned a ‘Not Met’ at Midterm must have their Competency Success Plans completed and uploaded to their Professional Practice Canvas course site.

At the end of term, the Clinical Supervisor assigns a ‘Requirements Met; or ‘Fail’ grade and must clearly state what course aims/ professional practice criteria student(s) did not meet if a failing grade is assigned. The final grade is also a global assessment based on all of the characteristics. While students may be doing better in some areas than others, their final grade is based on how they are performing overall. Clinical Supervisors must complete the Course Requirements column on Canvas for each student. Any students being assigned a ‘FAIL’ at Final must have their names forwarded to the Professional Practice Coordinator.
