Preceptor Evaluation Final:

A failure of the student to meet an objective requires a verbal and written Performance Improvement Plan completed by the supervising faculty.
Response scale: 4 = Exceeds expectations 3 = Meets expectations 2 = Needs improvement 1 = Unsatisfactory N/A = No opportunity to assess
Below 3 needs improvement and is unsatisfactory. Please add comments if score is below a 3. Other comments welcome.
