IMPLEMENTATION OF EARLY WARNING The CI has the responsibility to continuously assess student performance and recognize when performance is at the correct level, above the expected level or below the expected level. In the event that the clinical educator determines that there is a problem, an early warning process will give the student an opportunity to improve.
• The CI will describe the performance expectations as defined by the academic assessment tool and the expectations set by the clinic. • The CI, in collaboration with the student, will define a solution for the performance issue. This may be done on an existing form or by other means. • The CI will set a timeline during which the student must improve. • The CI will notify the CCCE and ACCE that there is a problem, that the problem was discussed formally with the student, and that there is a process in place for the student to make the necessary improvements. • If the plan is not achieved in the time set, the student may be put on probation, dismissed from the clinical site and or dismissed from the program.
• The CI will identify problems that the student has using a weekly summary form to be shared with the ACCE via electronic communication. This may also include information reported by other staff. The CI will review the record and all documentation of the student with the student. The CI and student will sign all of the student’s documentation to verify that it was reviewed. The CI should also document the student’s behavior and response to feedback.
