So i was on one of my clinical rotations a few months ago, the syllabus that was given to us clearly stated that for honors you needed a high pass clinical grade AND 80+ on your shelf OR honor clinical grade and 75+ on the shelf.
So I got the former grade with clinical high pass (my entire clinical grade was based on 1 eval because no one else turned it in) and 80+ on the shelf. The clerkship director even said that i could get honors if i scored well on the shelf.
I expected to get honors then all of a sudden i received high pass. As it turns out the syllabus they had given was not updated and the clerkship director didn't know. I needed a Honor/High pass swing grade + 80 on shelf for honors. So now I am stuck with a high pass.
In my opinion this is highly unfair because if I had KNOWN that i needed a swing grade, I would have made extra effort to follow up on evals and made sure the residents even received one. Now 4 months later, I highly doubt they even remember me.
What do you guys think I should do? This is some bull**** bait and switch in my opinion.
