From these, the purpose of the portfolio, experience of its use in clinical learning, balance of work and learning, personal development, formative versus summative assessment, supervisor meetings, practicalities of secure academic time, use of portfolio tools, and ways of ensuring regular entries and progress, were discussed.
Our assumption was that different students perceive clinical exposure and direct patients encounter, clinical assessment, supervisors and supervision differently (Marton 1986).
At the end of the assessment, supervisors in Agok and coordinators in Juba were confronted with raw data highlighting the strength and weaknesses of the project and making suggestions for possible improvement strategies.
How to provide evidence for the specific item in the portfolio (e.g. direct observation and assessment by supervisor, written assignment) 2. How to assess the evidence provided (e.g. Likert scale, grade, global rating) Questions on 27 key principles were derived from the WONCA workshop and the literature.
55 Previous studies have documented significant associations (r=0.61 0.87) of HPQ work hours assessments with payroll records 55 and job performance assessments with supervisor ratings (r=0.52), 56 as well as other administrative records (area under the curve, 0.58 0.72).
The data gathered might be improved by additional interview of the site staff person guiding the walk-through assessment, line supervisors, and workers in the area.
Guidelines and tools for supervision included instructions for conducting supervision, namely rules of conducting supervision meetings, checklists for supervisory visits, work planning action sheets, do's and don'ts of supervision, self-assessments of supervisors' competencies, tips on delegation, a feedback mechanism, and conflict resolution.
The PCAP was not significantly correlated with the MCQ, nor was the rural supervisor assessment (r = 0.03) despite the urban supervisor assessment being significantly correlated (r = 0.21).
The implementation of tighter regulation and more powerful supervision may impose large social costs due to the strong reliance on supervisory information that requires direct assessment by a supervisor (i.e. Mandatory Supervision).
The application process includes an examination, an interview, and a supervisor assessment.
The assessment by the supervisor of trainee doctor development level shall help in identifying the optimal learning environment for trainee doctors.
