Summary: University of California San Diego
Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences
POLICY ON EVALUATION OF PROFESSIONALISM
(PRECLINICAL YEARS)
Student pharmacists are required to demonstrate adequate professional and personal
attributes both within and outside the boundaries of a course. Many attributes of
professionalism cannot be observed during one course session, thus patterns of behavior,
as observed throughout the continuum of training, play an important role in making these
determinations. A student pharmacist's demonstration of satisfactory professional and
personal attributes is necessary. Therefore, these attributes will be evaluated for every
student as a continuum throughout each year in the preclinical curriculum.
The intent of the School, in placing this policy into effect, is to give all manner of
assistance to the student to remedy any deficiencies. The School's hope is that the student
may, subsequently, be successful and move forward in his/her profession with utmost
confidence.
This professionalism evaluation draws attention to a student who may require help
developing professionalism skills. A faculty member and/or course director who is
concerned about a student's behavior will give feedback to the student and make
suggestions for improvement. If the behavior is repeated (or is sufficiently serious at the
outset) a Professional Evaluation Form (PEF) will be completed.
