Main Clinical Competencies:
The evaluation of the fellows will be a continuous process throughout the program. The fellow will be assessed based on basic and clinical medical knowledge, clinical judgment, clinical skill (medial interview, psychical examination, and procedure skills), humanistic quality, professionalism, and provision of medical care. This assessment will be documented at end of each rotation or at two months interval for long rotations.
