CAMPBELL UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF PHARMACY & HEALTH SCIENCES
Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience Student Evaluation Form __ Patient Care Rotation
General overview -
For Part I of this Evaluation:
Preceptors should select the option that best describes the students performance for each of the items listed for the seven goals noted in Part I of this evaluation. Please read each category carefully. The language used to define student performance changes based on the item being assessed. Supporting comments should be entered in the appropriate comment fields.
For Part II of this evaluation:
Preceptors should give the student at least two site-specific assignments for a grade. The total number of points for all assignments should equal 20 points. The preceptors may weight the assignments differently; however, the total number of points must equal 20 points. [For example: the student may have a journal club (max allowable points = 5) drug monograph (max allowable points = 5), and a case presentation (max allowable points = 10).] The preceptor will enter the number of points obtained and then state the maximum allowable points for each assignment in Part II of this evaluation.
