Filling out a shift evaluation

Step 1: Start the evaluation

You’ll need to complete the form for all shift evaluations. Evaluators must complete the Student Affect Evaluation rating, which is not available to self-submissions.

Note

If you’re unsure how to start a simulated patient evaluation, see our articles on Creating a Shift Evaluation for Someone Else and Creating a Shift Evaluation for Yourself.
