Health Care Providers’ Involvement in
Student Assessment Policy New!
1. Residents and attendings are not to evaluate the academic performance of any
student for whom they have provided health care, including psychological and
reproductive health care.
2. If a medical student is hospitalized at UNCH, other medical students should not
be involved in the hospitalized student’s care.
3. Medical students seen in the emergency department and/or hospitalized at
UNCH may inform the SOM Office of Student Affairs, if they wish, so that the
SOM can avoid assigning the student to a service on which the student has been a
patient.
4. If a resident or attending discovers that s/he is assigned to an evaluative role of
a student for whom s/he has provided health care, s/he should contact the course
director immediately in order to assign appropriate evaluators. The content of
such notification ought not to include evidence of any health care provided
(unless the student has provided consent.)
5. Faculty or residents completing the common assessment form are required to
certify that they have not been involved in providing health care to the student.
