As students work closely with, and are taught by, preceptors, it is important that you are aware of the objectives they are required to achieve. 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.

Year 3 End of Rotation (EOR) 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 Clinical Performance Review (CPR) 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.

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.
