Clinical Evaluation Form

MID ROTATION FEEDBACK FOR STUDENTS

Dr. Barbas or Dr. Palmatier will meet with students on third Tuesday each month to go over their performance up to that point. Students will have a chance to discuss their progress and to sign the mid rotation form. This will allow time to see how you performed and also allow enough time for improvement before the end of your rotation.

REFLECTION PAPER

All students are required to write a 1 page reflection paper to be turned in electronically no later than at the time of the final exam. It should be 1 page (i.e. about 2-3 paragraphs) and can be double spaced. You are to reflect on how the ED experience interplays with social justice and the final sentence should conclude with a statement about your personal commitment to the service of others in the future.

The reflection process should be guided by the RFLCT acronym:
R: Recall: an experience. Spend 5 minutes before writing to contemplate the experience.
F: Formulate: a summary. Include key "facts of the case" and identify feelings about experience.
L: Learn: from the successes and shortcomings you experienced; think about your role in the encounter (who am I?), how it shapes who you are becoming, and is it the type of physician you want to be?
C: Change by identifying one area for growth, development, and improvement. It may focus on something that did not go well or building on a strength.
T: Transition with a sense of gratitude for this learning opportunity and something you can build on as your formation as a physician, make a tangible pledge to move forward

CLINICAL QUESTION PRESENTATION

You are to develop a clinical question related to emergency medicine regarding a topic that specifically interests you. Use a PICO statement to craft your clinical question, query for literature to support medical decision making, and determine the answer to your question. You will present your findings during the clinical question conference. Your presentation will be brief (maximum of 5 minutes) which will allow time for group discussion afterwards. Your presentation should include your PICO statement, resources obtained with an evaluation of the resource information, and a conclusion regarding your answer to the question.
