ASSESSMENT
Overall, the evaluation and assessment of trainees is carried out in accordance with the Saudi
Commission training and examination rules and regulations. Assessment is divided into two
parts:
Continuous evaluation process
Centralized examinations
The Continuous Evaluation Process
The main aim of the continuous evaluation process is to evaluate every aspect of the trainee’s
performance during his or her time at the training center. This process enables those involved
in the training process (i.e. preceptors) to provide objective feedback. It also involves
evaluating interactive training activities such as case studies and seminars. The following
components are part of the continuous evaluation process:
Feedback from the assigned preceptor: this feedback should be obtained and
documented every month and as needed (Appendix C);
Feedback from the assigned clinical instructor: this feedback should be obtained and
documented every month and as needed (Appendix D);
Feedback from the assigned head nurse/nurse manager: this feedback should be
obtained every month and as needed (Appendix E);
Seminar evaluation: trainees will attend one group seminar each year. Seminar topics
should be selected by the trainee and approved by the assigned clinical instructor and
the program director (Appendix F);
Case study evaluation: the case study of a patient cared for in a clinical setting. The case
presentation will include: the patient’s past medical/surgical history, cancer
diagnosis/treatment history, current medical/surgical diagnosis, and nursing diagnosis
with appropriate assessment findings, and current medical/nursing plans of care with an
assessment of optimal outcomes. Presentations should last approximately 15 minutes,
with the trainee facilitating the post-presentation discussion. The discussion should
include a comparison of plans of care with the current National Comprehensive Cancer
Network (NCCN) Clinical Practice guidelines, Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) standards
of care, and any other evidence-based practice standards. A case study evaluation form
must be completed and signed by the clinical instructor and the trainee (Appendix G).
