Evaluation

I really don't know why we waste our time and effort in medical education with summative evaluations on clinical rotations. What a crock of clostridial waste.

Let's review: Effective evaluation is both summative and formative with timely feedback based on established learning objectives with unbiased, objective and constructive educational correction.

With none of that present, the result is pure manure, wasted paper, time and effort with absolutely no ability to learn or improve.

That was fun.
