b. OB clerkship is also emphasizing self evaluation at mid clerkship

c. Neurology has instituted weekly quizzes related to the learning objectives

d. Pediatrics and Internal Medicine expressed concern about how to keep questions secure and felt that this would take away from the “patient related” reading for rounds

e. Concerns expressed related to the order in which the clerkship is taken impacting grade

f. Per Dr. Innes this should be low stakes, around 5-10% of the clerkship grade and questions must relate to the learning objectives which the shelf exam cannot
