General Information | Goals | Selectives | Electives | Course Grading

The Internal Medicine Department will provide the evaluation form to the student. These forms will be mailed to the student before each period begins. The student will be responsible for providing the instructors with the evaluation form. The instructor will mail the completed evaluation form to the Office of Academic Affairs, P.0. Box 70571, ETSU, within 7 days of the end of each selective elective. All senior courses, selective and elective, will be graded Pass/Fail. Student performance in all courses must be evaluated by the Attending physician of the selective/elective.

Evaluation:
Students performance will be observed and informally evaluated at all times by the attending physicians of clinical rotations.  Standardized evaluation forms will be used at the end of rotations. The attending physicians will be notified electronically through New Innovations to complete the evaluations.  After the evaluation is completed the clerkship secretary retrieves it and notates it on the Banner System and forwards it to Student Affairs.  Registrars office record evaluation grade.

Absences:
Due to the short length of each Senior Internal Medicine Selective, 100% attendance will be expected.  Excused absence should be approved by the course director.

In the event of a needle stick, splattered blood, etc., the student should immediately contact the following people so the necessary paperwork and testing may be started.
