Evaluations

Evaluations are accomplished using the online E*Value evaluation program. Toward the end of the WRITE session, a direct link will be sent to the primary preceptor to access the system. It is a good idea to distribute the monthly progress report and feedback summary forms (above) to those preceptors who have worked with a student in a significant way in either FM, IM, Peds, Psych, or OB (24-week sites), and use them to create a summary of comments and ranking BEFORE sitting down to do the online evaluation.

It is important to do a “good” evaluation: Please be sure that the grading anchors match the comments about student performance AND that the comments are specific, descriptive, and substantive. Clerkship evaluation guides can be accessed through the WRITE web site under each department, and more is available on each department’s web site: http://depts.washington.edu/write/requirements/index.html.

Comment Examples: “the Good, the Bad and the Ugly”

  • The Ugly: Jenny was a great student.
  • The Bad: Jenny was a hard working student, got along well with others, and was always prepared.
  • The Good: Jenny was intellectually curious, thoroughly researched her patient’s diagnosis, and went the extra mile. Staff and patients commented on how much they enjoyed working with her. She developed outstanding rapport with her patients and took ownership for their care.

For issues that come up about the mechanics of accessing or using E-Value, Donna Painchaud is the point person for *Peds, *Psych, and *FM. Click here for a link for how to access and complete evaluations in E-Value (PDF).

*Anything having to do with questions about how to evaluate a student would be sent to the appropriate department–see below.

On the issue of filling out evaluations using E-Value when there is no student ID present (which, if not filled in, evaluators cannot proceed), the evaluator should insert the phrase “please complete” which will alert the department to insert the student ID.
