Clerkship Directors recommendations to Curriculum Committee:

  • Recommend all clerkships assess all six competencies
  • Require behaviorally based descriptive anchors on clinical evaluation forms that are linked to 3,5,7,9 ratings (CDs asked Drs. Harrell, Nall, and Huynh to draft descriptive anchors that they could individualize to their clerkship)
