Why is it required that students receive credit for the clinical procedures they accomplish while on rotation?
It was the experience of Phase I schools that to make it possible for students to spend a substantial time off-site and still complete requirements for graduation, it was necessary to award credits for the procedures done off-site. Many of the schools carried out calibration exercises between off- and on-site faculty, so that the preceptors off-site would evaluate students in a similar manner as the on-site faculty.
