The assessment of clinical practice will be evidenced by successful achievement of the programme competencies via the Practice Assessment Document. The Practice Assessment Document must include completion of any 6 of the following: Directly Observed Procedural Skills (DOPS), Mini-Clinical Evaluation Exercise (mini-CEX) and Case-Based Discussions (CBD.) Assessment is the responsibility of the clinical preceptor; unless competence is demonstrated in practice credit will not be released. Ongoing formative feedback will be provided to students by the module team on the basis of two clinical consultation write ups submitted by the student.
