Calculation of Award Averages

Awards Based on Academic Courses

• For Entrance awards, averages are to be based on admission average

• For Continuing awards, averages are to be calculated based on all M.P.T courses during the previous year’s Modules (August to July)

• For awards which specify an area of study (e.g., Musculoskeletal, Neurology), calculation of the award average will be based upon the guidelines developed by the Awards Committee, in consultation with faculty

Awards Based on Clinical Courses

Proficiency in clinical courses will be based on the results of the clinical instructor’s final Assessment of Clinical Performance (ACP) (2016 version) instrument. The following may be used for determination of proficiency:

• Successful completion of placement
• Rating scales with anchor descriptors
• Presence of documented significant concerns
• Clinical instructor summative recommendation of overall performance.

All Clinical Practice courses during the previous year’s modules (August to July) will be considered for each award cycle.
