Mid-Clerkship Evaluation
Please complete this evaluation by the end of the third week of the clerkship. The midclerkship evaluation is designed to have students reflect on their strengths and weaknesses at the mid-point of their clerkship. This provides the opportunity for students to obtain the best possible clinical experience and correct deficiencies before the clerkship ends. This tool also provides the program with feedback regarding clerkship quality. This allows for identification of deficiency areas at clerkship sites and early intervention should it be necessary.
