Assessment of your progress is accomplished in a manner that is congruent with the goals of the curriculum.  The FDC uses a broad array of methods appropriate to assess all competencies fairly.  The evaluation will take place in the early spring at the Center for Studies in Clinical Excellence at the Fitzsimons campus.  This type of evaluation has taken on even more importance given the fact that you will be required to take a similar style exam during part II of the National Boards.  FDC is a Pass/Fail course

The different activities of the course are weighted differently. Much of your grade depends upon your active participation.  Professionalism is an important component of your evaluation.  The different activities are weighted as follows:

First Year Students - MSI

Continuity clinic                               25%

Communications curriculum           20%

Physical examination curriculum    20%

Professionalism                                  20%

CPE/OSCE                                          15%

TOTAL                                              100%

Second Year Students - MSII

Continuity clinic (including the

required H & P and presentation)     25%

Communications curriculum           20%

Physical examination curriculum    20%

Clinical Practice Exam                      15%

Professionalism                                 15%

Patient write-up                                  5%

TOTAL                                              100%

Third Year Students - MSIII

Continuity clinic                               70%

Hidden curriculum small group        30%  

TOTAL                                               100%

 

80% is required to pass the course.  If you do not receive a passing grade, you will be given the opportunity to remediate your deficiencies.
