Abstract

Final year students of the TU Dublin BSc (Hons) Optometry programme undertake a supervised practice placement of five-month’s duration in a community optometric practice. A significant element of assessment in this module is a Final Clinical Exam conducted in a “real world” environment. This must be successfully passed in its own right in order to pass the module. This presents several challenges including standardisation of the assessment. It is possible to manage this challenge by having appropriate training and clear guidelines for assessors and by ensuring that students receive constructive feedback in a timely manner.
