Core Clinical Skills Observation Policy

It is the policy of the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix to require that core clinical skills, behaviors and attitudes be observed and assessed throughout the curriculum. This is accomplished in particular through the Doctoring courses, clinical coursework and the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE). Each clerkship and Doctoring course syllabus is required to outline which skills, behaviors and attitudes must be assessed.      

The Curriculum Committee is responsible for monitoring the completion and assessment of the clinical skills, behaviors and attitudes.
