INFORMATION ABOUT CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT |
| Order by the Ministry of Presidency 155/1995 of 22nd June (BOE 30th June 1995) regulates the annual and end-of-residence period on-going assessment. The importance of such procedure prior to obtaining the specialist grade makes it necessary to expound the highlights of the already-mentioned law. The tutors and unit managers are responsible for assessing the trainees's performance in the specialist training processes that take place in their respective units. Assessment has to be recorded in a document which, once completed, will be forwarded to Secretary of the Teaching Committe to be included in the applicant's academic record. An assessment committee will be set up for every specialty whose training programme has been started. It will be entrusted with the annual assessment of specialist trainees who will be graded with the marks of Suficiente (C), Destacado (B) and Excelente (A) if they get a pass, or a No Apto (D) if they fail. Annual assessment The assessment committees will begin to undertake the specialist's annual assessment a month prior to the period's termination date. The corresponding mark will be recorded in the minutes of the Assessment Committee and notified to the applicant, the Teaching Commitee and the centre's Head Office. For the purpose of the annual assessment, external rotations will be taken into consideration as long as they meet the requirements specified in another point of this guide. In the event of a fail (D-mark), the Assessment Commiteee might choose any of these alternatives: Final evaluation of the training period Should the annual evaluation correspond to the last year of the training period, the grade obtained from the Assessment Committee will be considered a proposal. If the final evaluation is positive, the National Commission for the speciality will urge the Ministry of Education to issue the Grade of Specialist. If the final grade is fail, the applicant will be able to take a new test before the National Committee of the Specialty, which will decide the suitable grade by an absolute majority of its members. In the event that the failing grade remains, the applicant will be entitled to take an extra examination before the National Committee of the Specialty within a period of one year starting from the date of the previous one. The final mark obtained will be definitive. |
