 You roared we heard.  Student Performance Assessment is waaaayyy shorter!!  Thank you for the feedback; we are learning too  Assessments will be posted in RxP prior to placements 2

 Online RxPreceptor (RxP)  Primary preceptor must be in RxP  Primary preceptor does online assessment  Discussion and review with student is vital  acknowledgement on each form indicating discussion occurred  Different forms are submitted at different times  Assessment forms will all be listed in April  more information to follow by in mid April Preceptor Survey; not RxP, sent post placement 3

 After Week 1  Early Assessment of the Student  End of week 2  Midpoint Student Performance Assessment (includes Identification of Learning Goals & Expectations)  End of week 4  Final Student Performance Assessment and Recommendation of Placement Mark  Assessment criteria same at midpoint & final  6 Learning Outcomes will be assessed  Professionalism Communication  Care Provider Scholar  Manager Collaborator 4

 For Communicator & Care Provider objective:  preceptor indicates how strongly they agree or disagree that the student demonstrated a set of behaviors.  Then provide overall mark for that objective:  Not Meeting an Acceptable Level of Performance  Needs Improvement/Development  Meets Acceptable Level of Performance*  Exceeds an Acceptable Level of Performance*  For all other outcomes (Professional, Collaborator, Manager & Scholar) preceptor provides an overall rating based on descriptors provided 5

 Midpoint Identification of Goals and Expectations required following completion of Midpoint Performance Assessments  indicates that midpoint has been completed, also outlines learning goals for balance of placement  To pass placement:  student must achieve at least a “Meets Acceptable Level of Performance” on all 6 outcomes  Preceptors provide “Placement Grade”  Faculty provides the Course Grade based review of assessments and portfolio review 6

 Needs Improvement is OK at MIDPOINT-actually good idea  means that with more practice & effort you think the student will pass, just not there yet  Needs Improvement at Final is a FAIL  If student is considered “Not Meeting an Acceptable Level of Performance” means Major Concerns  Major deficit's, potential fail  Faculty must be notified by midpoint at the latest  If it is questionable whether student may pass; notify Faculty immediately: Renette or Marlene  Need to provide student with warning regarding difficulties  failure should not be a surprise  documentation & examples important  comment boxes on forms, be specific, comments helpful 8

 Student Self Assessments  orientation, midpoint, final  compare midpoint & final preceptor student performance assessments with student self assessments  Week 1: Early Assessment of Preceptor  Student completes Midpoint and Final Assessment of Preceptor and Site – discusses with preceptor  There are 2 surveys completed post placement by student  course  preceptor survey post placement 9

 Students are responsible for ensuring that :  all course requirements are met  course portfolio assignments are complete and posted on-line  Many documents do not need to be included in portfolio  for discussion only or review (i.e. DI questions)  There is a portfolio checklist in the manual  Course policies in manual  40 hours/week: schedule determined with preceptor (evenings and weekends OK)  cannot be paid (including gift cards)  Sickness/bereavement: one day OK; > 1day time must be made up  Student cannot take another course at the some time as the placement 10
