Criteria-referenced approach to clinical practicum

A great deal of interest has been generated recently in improving clinical instruction and evaluating performance. A criteria referenced approach was described in general terms in RADIOLOGIC TECHNOLOGY 46: 275-278, 1975. This paper provides specific rather than general information. Specific objectives are written to identify learning expectations during clinical practice in a 24-month radiologic technology program. The conditions under which the student will demonstrate his mastery of the objectives and the criterial for an acceptable performance level for each objectives are not included in this paper.
