title: Two approaches to clinical evaluation.
abstract: The authors describe two methods of clinical evaluation which, when combined, give faculty a more objective evaluation of clinical performance. One method examines student performance throughout the semester; the other evaluates the student during an actual performance examination. This combination of methods gives the instructor an opportunity to observe the students' clinical performance from two different perspectives and to assign the grade for the student's performance in the practicum setting.
