120 Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Allopathic Medicine (NSU MD)—Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) Program 2024–2025 criteria related to professionalism. Final grades will be determined by a clerkship grading committee, which will review performance of all students who complete the clerkship during each of the three clerkship blocks in Year 3, once all assessments are available, and assign final grades to those students no later than 6 weeks after the end of the clerkship block. The overall numerical score will be derived from performance on four categories of assessments. The specific assessment methods and percentage contribution to the final score will vary across clerkships within the following guidelines: Assessment Methods of Assessment Minimum Acceptable Performance Percentage of Final Numerical Score Clinical Assessments Clinical Observation Forms, Mini-CEX Activities Ratings, and Narrative Assessments Meets Expectations 30%–45% NBMW Subject Examination Subject Examination Relevant to Clerkship 5th Percentile 30% End of Clerkship Clinical Skills Assessment OSCE, Oral Exam, Other Satisfactory 15% Other Assessments Examples: Case Write-ups Presentations As Determined by the Clerkship Director(s) Varies EBM/PICO Quizzes, Virtual Patient Cases, Other Assignments Final grades in required clinical clerkships will be as follows: Honors High Pass Pass Fail The final numerical score that will be required to achieve each grade in a clerkship in a given academic year will be established by the Clerkship Grading Committee. The numerical scores for each grade will be based on data from students who have completed the clerkship and a target distribution of grades, as determined by recommendation from the Clerkship Subcommittee and the Curriculum Committee to the Office for Medical Education. For all clerkships, the criteria for demonstrating professionalism will be the same and will include specific expectations for demonstration of professional behaviors, participation in required events, and timely completion of all clerkship logs, evaluations, and other assignments. Remediation of Summative Assessments Students are not permitted to retake or remediate examinations or other summative assessments within a clerkship to achieve an overall grade of Pass. However, students who fail the NBME Subject Exam (score <5th percentile), but have Satisfactory performance on all other assessments, will receive a grade of Incomplete (I) and will be allowed to retake the Subject Exam once. If the student receives a score ≥5th percentile, the student will receive a final grade of C (Pass) in the clerkship.
