Medical Student Performance Record (MSPR)

[Taengoo]

What exactly does an MSPR document beyond what is available on the transcript? Is the point of emphasis on subjective assessment of the med student during clerkship and electives?

 

Thanks for your input

grades, eval comments, failures, awards.

Some have ECs on there too

 

They are working to standardize all this by the way

Evals on your MSPR are probably pretty important, since you have no exams or grades to stand out from other applicants. I dont know how Canadian schools operate but at my school they did include both positive and negative feedback on the MSPR.

Every school is different.

 

We had the option of striking off negative evals.

Western you pick 3/6 to include.

 

It is exactly because there is so much variability that this they are so annoying to P.D. I mean once school's was one page, another 17 for basically a similar student. How do you process that? I am not even sure which would be better for an applicant.
