Abstract

A method used by interns and supervisors in developing and evaluating a clinical performance program during a 6 week internship in the Division of Physical Therapy at the University of Michigan Medical Center is presented. This method required a statement of educational resources available, establishment of criteria for judging acceptable performance, statement by the intern of his educational objectives, negotiation of a written contract, and maintenance of a log. The 32 participants thought that this was a rational and acceptable program and stated that they would, if given a choice, elect to follow the same procedure again.
