The Skills Development Report is prepared when a student exhibits performance concerns that do not meet pre-clinical and/or clinical expectations outlined in course syllabi. It is intended to assist the student in meeting expectations, progressing in pre-clinical and/or clinical settings, and includes a course of action plan. Improvement in the area(s) noted below is needed in order to meet the expected standards of progress towards being a dentist or dental hygienist.
Nature of Concern(s):
-
The student does not exhibit the skills expected at this stage in their education.
-
The student does not follow instructions.
-
The student repeatedly did not demonstrate awareness of his/her own deficiencies and/or willingness to seek help.
-
The student resisted adopting recommendations from faculty or others to improve learning or performance.
-
The student did not correct their errors when they were brought to their attention.
-
Other reasons at the discretion of pre-clinical and clinical course directors where a student does not meet expectations.
This report goes to the Dean of Clinical Affairs and is discussed as part of student progress at the Periodic Assessment Committee meetings.
