Acting Internships Assessment

Acting Internships 

Acting internships (AIs) are offered from March through September. The majority of students will need to complete their acting internships prior to submission of their residency applications; however, this may not apply to all the fields of medicine. Students should discuss their optimal schedule with their portfolio coach.

Assessment in the AI 

The final grade in the Immersion Phase AI will be assigned as honors/high pass/pass/fail (H/HP/P/F). Immersion Phase grades will address performance in six separate, but equally important, competency domains: Medical Knowledge, Patient Care, Interpersonal and Communication Skills, Practice-Based Learning and Improvement, Systems-Based Practice, and Professionalism. Grading of performance within each competency domain can be informed by a variety of assessment methods that will include milestone-based assessment and four Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs).

• EPA 4: Enter and discuss orders and prescriptions
• EPA 5: Document a clinical encounter in the patient record
• EPA 8: Give or receive a patient handover to transition care responsibility
• EPA 10: Recognize a patient requiring urgent or emergent care and initiate evaluation and management
