Attendance at Clinical Sites:
Attendance is mandatory. If you are ill or unable to make a session you must contact Caryn Davi at 7461046. All absences must be excused. You will be required to make up any unexcused/unexplained absences.

Attendance at Seminars:
A sign in sheet will be used to monitor attendance. If you are unable to make a seminar session, please contact Caryn Davi.

Your grades will be comprised of the following components.

50 % Tutor Evaluations:
You will be responsible for providing blank evaluations forms to each of your preceptors. Forms should be given to the preceptor on the last day you will be working together. Preceptors do not need to fill out a form for every session. The more evaluation forms you hand out, the more accurate our portfolio of your clinical work will be. We will also be sending forms to the preceptors with whom you have worked, if we do not receive their input.

25% National Board Exam Subject Review in Family Medicine:
The material on this exam will be drawn from the lectures, readings and clinical experiences.

25% Take Home Essay Questions:
The questions will be distributed midway through the course. Topics will change for each eight-week block of the clerkship. We invite you to discuss, debate and investigate topics freely among yourselves. However, you are expected to hand in your own work, individually, at the end. Your answers should be in your own words and reflective of your individual thought processes.

Note:
Attendance/punctuality and active participation in seminars will affect your grade on an individual basis. This has been particularly true in the past for students who were on the borderline between grades. In addition, all unexcused absences are noted in your permanent record.
