| Feedback & Assessment
Feedback and Assessment processes are in place for each rotation (forms available on the hopsital intranet). These will be emailed to you and sent to your supervisor twice throughout your rotation. Feedback and assessment occurs twice per rotation, half way through the rotation as mid term feedback, (an opportunity to self assess and to find out how you’re going) and then at the end as your final assessment for the rotation.
The forms are based on the Australian Curriculum Framework for Junior Doctors (developed by the Confederation of Postgraduate Medical Education Councils). The forms outline the learning outcomes required by junior doctors to be achieved during their clinical rotation. Junior Medical staff have the opportunity to self assess against the 11 targeted outcomes along with 3 personal goals to be decided upon independently.
The hospital has a strong ethos of support and mentoring and as such, incorporates this into your rotations with assessment forms completed in conference with your supervisor. This provides each intern the opportunity to discuss issues, ask questions, look at career options as well as develop professional links and relationships with senior staff.
Accompanying this is a large and supportive medical education team who have an open door policy and encourage all junior medical staff to contact them with any concerns, suggestions or even just for a chat. |
