Purpose: This research examines 1 year of cross-sectional, Canada-wide ratings from clinical instructors using the Canadian Physiotherapy Assessment of Clinical Performance (ACP) and analyzes the performance profiles of physiotherapy students’ performance ratings over the course of their entry-to-practice clinical placements. Method: Canadian physiotherapy programmes that use the ACP were invited to submit anonymized, cross-sectional data for placements completed during 2018. Descriptive analyses and summary statistics were completed. Mixed-effects modelling was used to create typical performance profiles for each evaluation criterion in the ACP. Stepwise ordered logistic regression was also completed. Results: Ten programmes contributed data on 3,290 placements. Profiles were generated for each ACP evaluative item by means of mixed-effects modelling; three profiles are presented. In all cases, the predicted typical performance by the end of 24 months of study was approximately the rating corresponding to entry level. Subtle differences among profiles were identified, including the rate at which a student may be predicted to receive a rating of “entry level.” Conclusions: This analysis identified that, in 2018, the majority of Canadian physiotherapy students were successful on clinical placements and typically achieved a rating of “entry level” on ACP items at the end of 24 months.

Background: Student self-assessment is viewed as an important tool in medical education. We sought to identify the relationship between student academic performance and third-year clinical performance self-assessment. No such study exists in podiatric medical education. Methods: Third-year podiatric medical students from the classes of 2012 through 2014 completed a self-assessment of their performance for each of five broad clinical podiatric medical domains (Professionalism, Medicine, Radiology, Surgery, and Biomechanics/Orthopedics). The assessment was completed after students finished the first 12 weeks of their third-year clinical rotations (PRE) and a second time at the conclusion of the third year (POST). The mean self-assessment score for PRE and POST surveys for all combined domains was determined for each student. This mean was compared with the student's 3-year cumulative grade point average (GPA). Students' clinical experiences for the year were essentially identical. Results: No statistically significant correlation was identified between cumulative GPA and the PRE and POST clinical self-assessments or with the change between PRE and POST assessments based on the Pearson correlation test for each class separately or on the pooled data. Conclusions: Published studies in allopathic medical education have shown that students with lower GPAs tend to rate their clinical performance higher in initial clinical performance self-assessment. Our results show that student academic performance was not correlated with clinical performance self-assessment. These findings may be due to the explicit description of successful clinical competency completion, the orientation students receive before the start of clinical training, and the continuous feedback received from clinical preceptors.

Background: Objective Structured Practical Examination (OSPE) is being widely used in the assessment of clinical performance of students in healthcare profession. Objective: This study was conducted to find out the feasibility and acceptability of Self and Peer-Evaluation in Objective Structured Practical Examination (OSPE) in Psychiatric nursing among Nursing Students. Methods: A cross sectional, descriptive correlational study was conducted at Apollo College of Nursing, Chennai among 84students of 3rd Year B.Sc Nursing in Psychiatric Nursing subject. Students were selected by using purposive sampling technique. OSPE consisting of 7 stations (using the predetermined check lists for each station) was conducted. Feedback was obtained from the students and teachers involved in evaluation, immediately after completing the evaluation by using 12 items feedback questionnaire. Data was analyzed by using Descriptive (Mean, frequency, percentage) and Inferential (t-test) statistics.Results: Self and Peer evaluation in OSPE in Psychiatric nursing among Nursing Students, was feasible to conduct. Most of the students and all the teachers have accepted these methods on its various aspects. Total mean acceptability scores of students and teachers were 40.43±6.33, 45.79±2.72/48 and 42.43±7.37, 44.64±1.76/48 in self and peer evaluation respectively.Conclusion: Students’ and teachers’ feedback are essential to implement any teaching learning activities including evaluation. Self and Peer Evaluation were feasible to conduct and well accepted by the students and teachers.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/hren.v12i1.11984         Health Renaissance 2014;12(1):38-43

Aims and MethodIn order to meet revised (2005) Clinical Negligence Scheme for Trusts standards, tests of competency in key clinical skills were set for psychiatric senior house officers (SHOs) at the start of their posts.ResultsThe assessment of basic competencies demonstrated that 9 out of 14 SHOs met the required standards in tests of key clinical skills (overall competency rate of 64%). Senior house officers were generally in agreement with the principles behind the assessments.Clinical ImplicationsCompetency testing is becoming important at all stages of training and within all medical specialties. The recommended methods combine assessment of both knowledge-based competencies and clinical performance in the workplace.
