Hey all,
Just looking for some clarification on the significance of grading for clerkships. Not sure if this is standard, but at my school we are given a "clinical grade" and a "final grade", clinical being strictly the subjective score you get from the attendings/residents and the final grade being clinical grade+ shelf score.
So do residency directors care about one grade more than the other? And possibly a dumb question, when people on sdn reference "clinical grades" are they referencing the clinical grade I am describing above or your clerkship grade as a whole?
