Year 3 Clinical Procedures and Patient Encounters
All Mandatory Clinical Procedures (Must DO) and Patient Encounters (Must SEE)
Clinical Procedure/Patient Encounter Logging has been identified for each discipline and every attempt should be made for students to meet these objectives. As students in this rotation work closely with, and are taught by, preceptors, it is important that you are aware of the objectives they are required to achieve in this rotation. Please strive to support students to complete these mandatory clinical experiences.
NOTE: In the ICC and NRIC, logging will be reviewed as part of a Clinical Performance Review (CPR) every 6 weeks.

Sample Forms and Guidelines for Clinical Preceptors
Introduction to Assessment for Learning
Workplace Based Assessments (WBA), End of Rotation Assessments (EOR), End of Elective Assessments (EOE), Clinical Performance Reviews (CPR), Mid-rotation Assessments and Midpoint Elective Assessments are all examples of assessment FOR learning – they provide students with opportunity to receive quality feedback that is timely and specific.
These assessments allow for continuous feedback and are low stakes; no one thing will determine if a student passes or fails. Decisions regarding promotion and graduation are not made using any one piece of information.
Year 3 End of Rotation Assessment form – SAMPLE
This form is completed by the designated Supervisor, Primary Preceptor, Discipline-Specific Site Leader (DSSL) or Clerkship Director at the end of the rotation.
ICC/NRIC Clinical Peformance Review form – SAMPLE
This form is completed by the ICC Site Director (ICC) or Rural Regional Site Lead (NRIC) every 6 weeks. This is an opportunity for an overall check-in on student performance.
Year 4 End of Elective Assessment form – SAMPLE
This form is completed by the designated Supervisor, Primary Preceptor, Discipline-Specific Site Leader (DSSL) or Elective Director at the end of the rotation.
Guidelines for UBC Clinical Faculty Completing End of Rotation Evaluations to inlcude comments for the Medical Student Performance Record (MSPR)
The EoR has been changed to allow for separation of the formative comments as guidance for student improvement from summative comments that will become a part of the students’ MSPR for CaRMS residency applications. The purpose of the MSPR Summative Comments is to highlight the unique qualities of the learner. The purpose of this document is to help support clinical faculty in this process. We advise that faculty choose MSPR comments that distinguish this student from others, keeping in mind that these comments will be used externally.
