Student Professionalism Assessment

Description of activity
Valid and reliable assessment tools should be developed that evaluate professional behaviors as well as a student’s knowledge and skills. Evaluation should extend beyond the acquisition of knowledge by students to professionalization and the application of knowledge and skills in the care of patients in improving medication use. The college or school should insure the professionalization of its students throughout the educational continuum. As part of the assessment process, an institution may conduct a survey of graduating students.

Rationale
To ensure faculty and students are engaging in the most effective professionalism activities, the institution must annually assess the value of each related program and policy, and its impact on students, faculty, curriculum, culture, etc.
