This module is designed for all faculty and residents who are responsible for evaluating medical students in Phases 3 and 4 of medical school at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. For some departments, this module may be required in order to teach students.

At the completion of this 15-minute course you will:

• Understand the principles of criterion-based performance assessment
• Understand medical students’ developmental progression through the clinical years
• Know the elements of the Medical Student Clinical Assessment Form
• Be able to accurately and reliably evaluate a medical student in the clinical years

After you finish this module, you will test your achievement of these objectives through a brief examination.

There is a way for you to test-out of the module. If you feel you understand the aforementioned issues adequately already, you may take a pre-test to test your knowledge. If you achieve greater than 80% on the pre-test, you are excused from completing this module and you will be able to download a certificate of completion.
