Summative & Formative
Assessment
• Understanding the need and the difference
• Summative means a ‘marked assessment’ –
pass or fail
• Formative assessment is a learning
opportunity after delivering a judgement on
the quality of the behaviour
• All summative assessments should contain an
element of formative / learning in the clinical
setting
• Summative assessments go towards the
student’s final score
Applied Medical Knowledge (AMK) –
The Progress Test
(from PCMD assessment unit)
Clinical Skills
• In vivo Clinical Competencies x 12
per year – formative in year 3 and
summative in year 4
• Summative ISCE at end of year 4
• Clinical Reasoning – “Feedback”
SEE PINK FORMS IN PACK
In Vivo Competencies
Years 3 & 4
In vivo Competencies
•
•
•
•
12 competency assessments per year in yrs 3&4
ALL 12 must be completed
Observed process
15 minutes per student
– 8-10 for intro & examination
– 5-7 for explanation of findings & differential
• Ideally timetabled during a defined pathway week
• ST4 doctors & above to assess (exception: O&G
midwife)
In vivo Competencies
• Paperwork is student’s responsibility
• Written feedback on the form is essential
• From 2010/11 Form includes Professional
Judgement (year 4)
“Global judgement of the observed professional
behaviour demonstrated by student.”
• First attempt, remediation then second attempt
must be undertaken by relevant PCMD staff
(Benchmarking later today)

‘Sitting and watching…..is a lot less

Bligh 2002
SEE BLUE FORMS IN PACK
The Clinical Feedback Session
• A two hour session at the end of each
week
• Protected time with 2 or 3 students
• Develop clinical reasoning skills via
– Case presentations
– Feedback and assessment
• Identify learning needs for students
Preparation / Attendance
• Failing to attend/prepare for the session is
a professionalism issue
• Please report non-attendance (without EC)
or failure to prepare for the session to the
Undergraduate Office
What are your experiences
of Students’ Presentations?
Clinical Reasoning
‘Encourage students to think about the data
they collect during history taking and relate
it to understanding the patient’s problem’
Nendaz. M.R., & Bordage, G., (2002) Medical Education, 36, 760-766
Promoting Diagnosis Reasoning
• Commit to working diagnosis early
• Co-select: gather data with working diagnosis in
mind
• Focus on the discriminating features
• Summarize the big picture: build an abstracted
problem representation
• Encourage students to express uncertainties:
disclosure without blame
THE MECHANICS
What would YOU want to
hear first when a patient is
presented ?
Clinical Method
‘The student should practice the
art of presenting the leading
features in a few sentences’
Hunter, D. & Bomford, R.R., (1968), Hutchinsons Clinical
Methods, p1., London, Bailliere Tindall & Cassell

Professionalism Judgements
• Provide feedback about student behaviour
– At regular intervals
– In a variety of settings
– By multiple observers
• However
– Students may perform for the assessment
– We hear of other examples of poor or very
good behaviour
– We need to document these in order to
provide feedback or take action where
necessary
On-the-Spot Feedback
An opportunity to identify exceptional
behaviour and provide feedback to
students and the School
The aim of on-the-spot feedback
• To encourage good professional
behaviour and modify poor professional
behaviour
• To record exceptional behaviours
• Provide timely feedback about this to
students
• Develop a process for dealing with this,
where necessary, as a School
Process for this
• Forms to be available in locality offices
• When exceptional student behaviour is
identified feedback will ideally be given
directly to student
• Form to be completed and returned to
locality office
• Associate Dean to decide appropriate
action
On-the-Spot Feedback
• In order to capture this information each student
will now be allocated an extra Professionalism
Judgement based on this feedback and awarded
by an expert Panel of the Associate Deans and
Lead for Professionalism.
• If no On-the-Spot feedback has been awarded a
student will automatically be awarded a
“satisfactory” but in the light of the On-the-Spot
feedback the Panel may award “excellent”,
“borderline” or “unsatisfactory”. The same rules of
progression will apply to the module.

Structured Exam (POISE)
• Builds on years 3 & 4 “in vivo” competencies and
links to F1 assessments – the mini CEX
• CVS, Resp, GI and Neuro are core with 8 others
available of which 4 must be assessed
• Assessors must have attended this or similar
training session (see forms in pack)
• 2 POISEs (1st attempt) per block and 2 by any
single assessor during the year
• Students to perform 8 POISEs by the end of the
fourth block

Practical Skills Competencies
• An ongoing assessment of “in vivo”
competencies – building on years 3 & 4
• Assessed by any competent practitioner
• Competencies include cannulae, PEFR,
ABGs, drug dose calculation, catheterisation
• Checked during “Progress Review” with
Academic Tutor
• New for 2010/11 – 18 skills all assessed
once.

Year 5 Professionalism
Judgements
• 1 per block i.e. 5
• Summative judgement by clinician at end of
professional practice week
• Supported by 360 degree formative feedback
from the clinical team - end of week 3
• “Do they have the professionalism to be an
F1?” - yes/no/maybe
Year 5 Professionalism
Judgements
• These are of a different quality to other judgements
and will now carry more weight than a normal
Judgement.
• A “maybe” and “no” will lead to 2nd level remediation
by the Associate Dean or representative and will carry
the same consequences as an “unsatisfactory”
judgement in the module.
• If a student is given a “maybe” or a “no” in 2 of the 5
blocks this will result in failure of the module and may
prevent the successful completion of the year.
