I spoke with Eric at length regarding mid-rotation clinical evaluation, meeting was at his request.  Eric is very concerned about his poor clinical evaluation to this point.  He has already discussed his evaluation with Mrs. Sabelesky and is aware of unsatisfactory areas, however he states that he is \"uncomfortable\" with his evaluation.  I did clearly explain that the instructors\' job is to objectively evaluate student performance, and it is his performance that is reflected on his clinical evaluation.  He was also told that he has ample opportunity to correct identified weaknesses and achieve a satisfactory clinical performance during the remainder of the level rotation.  Additionally, he is in a \"split\" rotation, so that he also has the opportunity to be evaluated by a different instructor although certainly his areas of weakness will be a focus for re-evaluation.
