Assessment Information
Examination 50%, course work 50%
Combined assessment methods including short answer tests, multiple-choice questions, case reports and 360o feedback are employed throughout the course. Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) and Structured Clinical Operative Tests (SCOTS) are used to determine clinical ability and progress, and a logbook of clinical work is kept which contributes to a personal portfolio and is assessed at the end of each semester. There are examinations at the end of each semester which must be passed satisfactorily before any student is permitted to continue to the next phase of study.
