'''Procedure for Clinical Evaluations'''
'''Clinical Performance Evaluations'''
# Clinical evaluations include the three domains of learning: cognitive (knowledge), affective (professional behaviors), and psychomotor (technical skills).
# The evaluation will assess the three domains of learning: cognitive (knowledge), affective (professional behaviors), and psychomotor (technical skills).
## The student will receive a minimum of two evaluations for affective, psychomotor, and cognitive areas in the program before the midpoint of the clinical component of the program. Any ongoing issues will be identified, discussed, and verbal counseling will be documented.
# The student will receive a minimum of two evaluations before the midpoint of the clinical component of the program and a minimum of one per semester.
# Students who perform at a non-acceptable level as defined by the program, in any of the three domains, may be placed on academic probation.  
# Clinical instructor and staff feedback will be used in the evaluation process.
## Students will be notified of the nature of the problem and discuss ways to improve.
## The length of the probationary period will be clearly defined on an individual basis.
## At a defined time the student will receive another evaluation. If improvement is not demonstrated, the student will be removed from clinic and a failing grade can be issued for the clinical course.  A committee of program directors in the department will assess and determine if dismissal from the program will be recommended. 
## If improvement is shown the student may either be removed from probation or probation may be continued for a defined time.
## If the behavior is noted again at any time during the remainder of the program, the student will immediately receive a failing grade for the course and be recommended for dismissal.
