Overview of Formative and Summative Assessments and Evaluations
Assessment: Residents will be assessed on their performance throughout the residency program. An assessment is the estimation of the nature, quality, or ability of a person or thing, typically in an ongoing and process-oriented fashion, with a focus on identifying areas for improvement; for example, assessment would typically be used to describe a pharmacy resident's performance during a rotation as a component of a longitudinal process.
Formative Assessments: an assessment of the resident during the rotation to assess the resident’s learning and understanding and progress in meeting the objectives of the rotation. The formative assessment also allows the preceptor to make adjustments to the rotation based on the resident’s learning in order to facilitate the ability of the resident to achieve the goals and objectives of the rotation. The resident will be assessed using a formative assessment at the mid-point of the rotation.
Summative Assessments: an assessment of the resident at the end of the rotation. This assessment is used to assess the resident’s knowledge, skills and abilities in the achievement of the goals and objectives of the rotation.
Evaluation: Preceptors, rotations, the Program, the Program Coordinator and Program Director will be evaluated as part of the Program. An evaluation is the making of a judgement about the amount, number or value of a person or thing, typically in a summative and product-oriented fashion, with a focus on one or more final scores. For example, evaluation would typically be used to determine the quality of a program at a certain point in time.
