WRITE Preceptor Responsibilities for FM CLERKSHIP:
- Teaching tips, student curriculum, and evaluation guidelines are available on the Department of Family Medicine web site: http://depts.washington.edu/fammed/education/courses/clerkship/info-faculty.
- At the end of 16 weeks at the WRITE site, the primary preceptor is expected to complete a formal evaluation of the student using the online evaluation system, E-Value. Available on the Family Medicine, Info for Faculty Website are evaluation aids (including grading criteria and anchors) as well as the FM Clinical Evaluation Form which can be downloaded, printed and distributed it to preceptors who worked with the student in family medicine.
- Primary preceptors can use collected responses to input student evaluation into E-Value. More information on using E-Value and a direct link into the system will be sent to the primary preceptor at the time evaluations are due.
Note for WRITE RE: Assignment Tracker and Required Feedback Sessions with Preceptor:
Assignment Tracker: http://depts.washington.edu/fammed/education/courses/clerkship/info
Students should update their Assignment Tracker at the end of every week* and schedule and actively engage in Mid/End Clerkship Reviews with FM preceptor --be sure to print out two copies of your assignment tracker to bring to each review session, ideally during the monthly written and verbal feedback sessions. During the review meetings, your preceptor will share feedback about your performance in the clerkship. Feedback may include things you did well and things that you should focus on. You are encouraged to ask questions during these meetings about the feedback if it is unclear or you need further guidance about improving your performance.
*The Family Medicine Clerkship web site is set up for the traditional 6-week clerkship. Taking into account the expanded nature of the WRITE program, it is not required that WRITE students complete at the same pace the weekly activities of the FM "Assignment Tracker," but should integrate the "weekly" requirements into their clerkship experience as it makes sense to do so, making sure to complete everything by the time of the Family Medicine exam in May.
