The evaluation during the probationary period is performed by the clinical educator and staff, in two instances: 1) The first time interim evaluation must occur when 50% of the internship weeks have elapsed - qualitative assessment of student knowledge and skills - self-evaluation. 2) The second time, at the end of last week's stage - should reflect the continuous assessment carried out by educators throughout the clinical stage, including the dossier. Both time points are based on specific assessment scales developed by ESSEM graduated to allow the conversion of qualitative ratings into quantitative indicators, which include mandatory technical-scientific and professional conduct. The assessment is carried out in ESSEM through the presentation and discussion of a Case Study (CS), carried out during the probationary period.
