Effect of student-directed solicitation of evaluation forms on the timeliness of completion by preceptors in the United States.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Summative evaluation forms assessing a student's clinical performance are often completed at the end of a clinical experience from a faculty preceptor. In our institution, despite the use of an electronic system, completion timeliness has been suboptimal potentially limiting our ability to monitor student progress. The aim of the present study was to determine if a student-centered approach to summative evaluation form collection at the end of a pediatrics clinical experience will enhance timeliness of completion for third year medical students at Pennsylvania State College of Medicine.

Methods

This was a pre- and post-intervention educational quality improvement project focused on 156 (82 pre-intervention, 74 post-intervention) third year medical students at Pennsyl
