Intern Name Rotation Site Rotation Dates to Preceptor Date of evaluation Please check: Mid-point Evaluation Final Evaluation Please check: Preceptor-Evaluation Intern-Evaluation This form is divided into three sections based on the skills which the intern develops to become an entry level dietitian. Please record the numeric value (1-6) for each objective using the rating scale provided at the top of each page. Space is provided after each objective for additional comments and explanation. If either the intern or preceptor feels there was no opportunity to observe an objective, N/A should be written in the space allotted for checking the rating scale. The performance evaluation is used at both the middle and end of the clinical experience. The evaluation given at mid-point will include Section III where appropriate. This will encourage discussion about the intern s increasing responsibility towards assuming the staff relief role. The mid-point evaluation will provide guidance for the intern and will not count toward the competency score 1. The final evaluation will be a major consideration for the score the intern receives on the following competencies: CD 3.1, 3.1.a, 3.1.b, 3.1.c, 3.1.d, 3.5, and 4.11. The intern should evaluate himself/herself before meeting with the preceptor. The preceptor should also complete his/her evaluation of the intern before the evaluation meeting. At the time of evaluation, discrepancies should be discussed. 1 It should be expected that for the beginning intern, the level of achievement for most of the objectives will not be above 3 or 4 on the rating scale at the mid-point evaluation.
