Clinical Review

A clinical review is a process of review whereby an underperforming student's clinical performance is assessed by a second facilitator. The format of Clinical Review and learning outcomes to be achieved is determined by the subject coordinator, in consultation with the Clinical Facilitator, Clinical Coach, or Preceptor and student.

If a student does not achieve the learning outcomes and/or NMBA standards for practice stated in a Supported Learning Plan, they will be notified of such in writing by the subject coordinator and enter the Clinical Review process.

In a clinical review, the student's performance will be assessed by a second facilitator during the student’s next available rostered PEP shift. The student will be formally notified, in writing, of this process by the subject coordinator. The format of Clinical Review and learning outcomes to be achieved will be determined by the subject coordinator, in consultation with the Clinical Facilitator, Clinical Coach, or Preceptor and student. A copy of the notification will be provided to the student, Clinical Facilitator, Clinical Coach, and/or Preceptor.

Successful Clinical Review

If the student achieves the learning outcomes stipulated for the clinical review, the student will have successfully completed the Clinical Review. The Clinical Review is redeemed and the student will remain on a SLP until PEP completion. The subject coordinator will notify all parties associated with the Clinical Review of redemption. No alteration to the student's progress will occur.

If at any time during the remainder of that PEP the student is again identified as not meeting the subject learning objectives and/or the NMBA Standards for practice at the appropriate level, they will not be given any further opportunities to redeem the Clinical Review.

Unsuccessful Clinical Review

Following the Clinical Review, if the student's performance is not at the level required, this will result in a U grade being recorded for the PEP. In this instance, the student will be immediately withdrawn from PEP.

The subject coordinator will notify all parties associated with the Clinical Review involved of the Clinical Review’s outcome.
