Students will be responsible for reviewing final instructor or preceptor responses for each evaluation. A student may request a reconsideration of an evaluation made by an instructor or affiliating institution’s preceptor.
The following procedures will be followed:
- The student will notify the program director of his/her dissatisfaction with an evaluation within one week after the evaluation is discussed.
- The program director will discuss the evaluation with the student and the student can decide if he/she would like to schedule a meeting with the instructor or supervising preceptor and program director to discuss the evaluation.
- If after the meeting, the student feels that a satisfactory settlement is not reached, he/she may write a rebuttal statement to attach to the evaluation. The affiliating preceptor may also add comments. Both parties may review each other’s comments. A summary statement of the conference discussion will be written by the program director and signed by all parties.
- If no agreement is reached, the evaluation will stand as the affiliating institution’s preceptor has written it; however, all copies of rebuttals and preceptors' comments will be retained in the program files.
