Assessment
Assessment modes can be varied.
Summative / formative. Planned / opportunistic. Structured / heuristic. Mandatory / optional .
A 3 month rotation is all too brief and cannot be expected to be comprehensive.
Examples that the GP Trainer can utilize for learning /assessment include:
- Curriculum.
- Random case analysis.
- Simulation / role play.
- Case based discussion (CBD).
- PUNS & DENS.
- Hot seating.-seeing patients and reviewing with supervisor.
- Feedback - patient, staff, intern and GP - both ways!
- Direct observation of skills.
- Intern presentation.
These can also be added to Portfolio of Learning ( Imokilly Medical Centre example)
