grading and evaluation

Overall

Your final clerkship grade will be based upon a variety of factors.

	Clinical Evaluation (determined by the level of competencies achieved)	50% of grade
	(50 pts. possible)

	Projects
	Biopsychosocial (10 points possible)	8% of grade
	Evidence-Based Medicine	8% of grade
< 4 points on either assignment = fail

	Examination	30% of grade
	(30 pts. possible - 100 multiple choice questions - .3 each)
	Points calculated by multiplying number correct by 0.3
<20 points = fail

	Clinical Skills Exercise (4pts possible)	4% pf grade
	<65 pts. = fail

Final Grade:

91 -100 points	= honors
86 - 90 points	= high pass
65 - 85 points	= pass
< 65 points total	= fail

Students scoring less than 65% on the examination, but passing the clinical portion, must remediate the exam only. Students failing either of the assignments will have to remediate the assignment. Students failing the clinical portion only must remediate the clinical rotation, and complete a short answer test at the end of the remediation. Other remediation assignments will be determined on a case-by-case basis according to the student’s strengths and weaknesses.
