Assessment Package for Year 3 Class of 2021, 2019-20

All formative and summative assessment components/modalities* are mandatory with the exception of optional Practice MCQ quizzes. Failure to complete or attend any mandatory assessments may lead to failure of the course.

Assessment and Grading

All students within the MDUP are graded on a pass/fail basis. All assessments are designed to measure achievement of specific objectives related to each course in fulfilment and overall successful completion of the program. Students must pass each assessment component (see below) to pass the course.

Failure of an assessment component will result in a detailed review of performance by the Regional Student Promotions Subcommittee (RSPS). The student will be offered a supplemental exam or assignment (if available), by the RSPS.

The following assessment components are used in the MD Undergraduate Program:

• Written Exams

o Progress Tests: Students are required to take scheduled multiple choice-based progress tests. This exam is mapped to graduation level competencies. The results of progress tests allow students to track their learning trajectory and identify areas for improvement and emphasis. Students must complete the formative Progress Tests.

o Course based MCQs: Students are required to take scheduled summative written exams during the course, consisting of Multiple Choice Questions to assess their application of knowledge. Students must achieve a cumulative score of ≥60% across all exams in the course in this component to pass. The questions in these exams are mapped to Academic Session Objectives and Clinical Objectives.

• Portfolio

o Students are required to attend scheduled Portfolio group sessions and submit a variety of portfolio artifacts. Artifacts may include narrative assignments, reflections, critiques, etc. Assignments are considered complete if they meet the minimum standard set in the Portfolio rubric. Assignments must be submitted by deadline.

*Assessment component and assessment modality are used interchangeably in this document

Assessment Package for Year 3

2019-20 Year 3 Assessment Package final_v1a_31may2019 Page 2 of 18

• Workplace Based Assessments (WBA)*

o The Workplace Based Assessment is linked to the Course Learning Outcomes and based on information gathered about the student’s observed knowledge, skills and behaviour in the workplace from all sources in departmental rotations, supplemented by multiple direct observations linked to Year 3 clinical milestones. Students who achieve the Course Learning Outcomes and complete mandatory observations will pass the WBA.

*see the WBA and Expert Panel Reference Guide on page 13

• Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE)

o Formative: Students are required to take a formative OSCE during the course using standardized simulated clinical scenarios. Students will perform specific clinical tasks such as history-taking, physical examination or counselling, reflective of an appropriate level of skill development and receive feedback about their performance.

o Summative: Students are required to take an OSCE at the end of the course using standardized simulated clinical scenarios. Students will perform specific clinical tasks such as history-taking, physical examination or counselling, reflective of an appropriate level of skill development. A pre-set number of summative OSCE stations are required to be passed; passing score for each station is ≥60%.

Formative and Summative Assessments:

Formative: assessment activities that are designed to enable students to use the assessment process and/or outputs to guide their own learning; also known as Assessment for Learning.

Summative: assessment activities designed to indicate to the Faculty whether a student has achieved course learning outcomes and/or year-level milestones; also known as Assessment of Learning. Results of assessments of learning have an impact on whether a student passes a course or is promoted to the next year in the MD program. For more information, see Orientation to Year 3 Assessment

Logging of Clinical Case List/Patient Encounters and Clinical Procedures in One45

Students are expected to log Patient Encounters and Clinical Procedures regularly (please see the “Logging (one45)” folder under Assessments > Student links on Entrada).

To pass the MEDD 431, the Patient Encounters and Clinical Procedures log must be complete by the end of the year. Students with incomplete logs at the end of the course will be reviewed by the Expert Panel. This will lead to a recommendation of an ‘incomplete’ grade or ‘failure’.

Logging will be tracked and students who have unsatisfactory logging (<70% of items) at the end of the 3rd block will be referred to the Expert Panel.

In the ICC program, logging will be reviewed as part of each 6 weekly clinical performance review (CPR).

Year 3 WBA and Expert Panel Reference Guide

What is Workplace Based Assessment?

Workplace Based Assessment (WBA) is one of the four modalities of Assessment used in the renewed Year 3. The WBA is aligned to the Course Learning Outcomes.

End-of-Rotation Workplace Based Assessment will take into account two streams of information:

A. Contributory Stream: This stream includes information gathered about the students’ applied knowledge, skills and attitudes from all sources, within the department.

B. WBA Direct Observation Data Stream: There are 14 clinical task domains, such as history taking, physical examination, communication and others. Students will be responsible for being observed performing a required number of clinical tasks in each rotation. These details will be provided under the WBA Direct Observation Domain and Requirements section of this Assessment Package and rotation-specific orientations. Students should contact their supervisor if they are having difficulty completing direct observations in a timely manner. On rare occasions, if a direct observation is missed, a student may complete the missed domain in another rotation using the ‘missing DO link’.

WBA Direct Observation Data Stream WBA Domains 1-14 – Clinical Tasks • WBA Direct Observations should address only a small aspect of the clinical task being observed and

take no more than 5-10 minutes. • WBA Direct Observation assessment forms are completed electronically via a survey tool. Links to

Direct Observation survey tool will be provided to students and preceptors in the Assessment Package and at rotation orientations.

• The WBA Direct Observation form can be completed using either the Student’s or the Preceptor’s mobile device.

End of Rotation Assessment • Using assessment data and information about the students’ applied knowledge, skills and attitudes

gathered from all sources within the department and from the WBA Direct Observation forms, the Discipline Head Assessors will complete End of Rotation (EoR) Assessment forms. The domains in the EOR form are aligned to the Course Learning Outcomes.

o Mid-Rotation assessment forms are completed for disciplines with 4 weeks of rotation or greater and focus on formative feedback to students.

• If the overall performance of a student is found to be ‘Not on Track’ to meet end of Year 3 milestones related to the Course Learning Outcomes, the student will be referred to an Expert Panel. If a student is found to be ‘Not on Track’ in the same domain in 3 rotations they will be referred to the Expert Panel.

Assessment Package for Year 3

2019-20 Year 3 Assessment Package final_v1a_31may2019 Page 15 of 18

Summary of Referral and Monitoring by Expert Panel for ICC and Rotation based Year 3 (see Year 3 WBA Expert Panel + Support Process and Year 3 WBA Referral and Monitoring Summary on the next 2 pages) • The Expert Panel members are drawn from the RSPS because of their expertise and contextual

knowledge of the program and experience with teaching and assessment. They will review the student’s assessment data, recommend support, and monitor the student’s progress.

• At the end of the course, the Expert Panel will review all students under monitoring at year end and all students who have incomplete elements or deficiencies which require completion or remediation. They will recommend a grade based on the following criteria: o A passing grade if the student has achieved Year 3 milestones related to the Course Learning

Outcomes (as laid out in the EOR form) and has completed the incomplete elements. o A failing grade if Year 3 milestones related to Course Learning Outcomes have not been

achieved or if incomplete elements cannot be remediated within 4 available weeks in the summer, unless a Leave of Absence (LOA) or other policy applies. The earliest point which the Expert Panel can recommend a failing grade is at the end of a

24 week period of monitoring. o An incomplete grade if a student has incomplete elements (such as logging, direct observations)

that can be completed within the 4 available weeks in the summer.
