Dear Students, Evaluations are a critical component of ensuring your high quality education. As a result, evaluations are required part of the overall MD curriculum. This is why it is imperative that you complete them in a timely manner (please see the evaluation policy below). You will have 7 days to complete an evaluation once assigned. If you ever have questions or concerns, please reach out to Mr. Alton Lewis (cc6904@wayne.edu). Starting this year, we will be making the evaluation results more transparent to students. Once we receive your evaluations, they are provided to a team of individuals including the course directors who evaluate various components of the course and engage in quality improvement efforts in order to further improve the curriculum. Once this process is complete, we will be communicating out these findings to you so that you can see how your feedback is helping improve the school and why evaluations are very important to this process. Regards, 2.3 Course Evaluations, AAMC Surveys, and Other Required Forms CONTINUOUS QUALITY IMPROVEMENT The collection and analysis of data through the evaluation of the curriculum and faculty is a key part of WSUSOM’s continuous quality improvement program. Evaluations are used as a formal mechanism to ensure the quality of the medical education program. RESPONSIBILITY OF STUDENTS Student engagement in the curriculum is a key part of WSUSOM’s professionalism standards. As such, students are REQUIRED to complete ALL assigned evaluations within a timely manner. Failure to do so is considered “failure to engage” and is considered a professionalism violation. ANONYMITY All data collected from evaluations for analysis and reporting to course directors, instructors, and administrators are anonymous and devoid of any identifying information. Honest and professional responses are of the utmost importance. SCHEDULE Notification of evaluation assignments is sent via email. It is the students’ responsibility to check for pending evaluations. Evaluations are scheduled during and at the end of a course or clerkship. Once an evaluation has been posted, students have one week (7 calendar days) to complete the evaluation. NON-COMPLIANCE* Since the data collected from evaluations are a vital component of the school’s continuous quality improvement program, all evaluation assignments require completion. 1st Offense within a given Academic Year:
2nd Offense within a given Academic Year:
* if a student is unable to complete an evaluation because they did not interact with a faculty member or did not attend an activity, the student is required to DECLINE the evaluation. Declining the evaluation is considered to be compliant. ****************** Jason C. Booza, PhD |
