Students are expected to achieve a minimum of <strong>&#8220;Developing&#8221;<\/strong> by midterm and <strong>&#8220;Accomplished&#8221;<\/strong> by the end of the clinical course. If performance is documented as <strong>&#8220;Beginning&#8221;<\/strong> or <strong>&#8220;Not Demonstrated&#8221;<\/strong> at midterm the student must demonstrate satisfactory and consistent improvement in this area in order to pass the clinical rotation.

The instructor will perform an additional evaluation specifically targeting the areas needing improvement to determine satisfactory progress towards outcomes prior to the final clinical evaluation.
