Advanced Clinical Experiences Assessment
Assessment in ACEs
The final grade is assigned on an honors/high pass/pass/fail basis. The grade will be comprised of 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. Milestones are utilized to gauge performance in clinical settings. To obtain honors, a student should demonstrate excellent performance in all aspects of the course.

Students are expected to form clinical questions and retrieve evidence to advance patient care. Being able to ask and answer questions that come up in the routine daily care of patients is an essential skill for students to learn. The practice is designed to solidify their skills as learners in the workplace and serve as a foundation for more effective learning over the course of their careers.
