EXAM PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
	Poor 0 pts	Fair 4 pts	Excellent 8 pts
Shielding Followed Dept. protocol regarding shielding devices.	Poor Student did not demonstrate knowledge of shielding requirements for any projections, requiring reminder for two or more projections.	Fair Student needed reminder to utilize shieldeding OR shielding was used but not placed appropriately prompting intervention.	Excellent Shielding was used appropriately for all projections.
Room set up/preparation: Able to initiate systematic approach to exam.	Poor Student did not prepare room prior to bringing in the patient OR prior to attempting positioning.	Fair Student prepared some but not all of the equipment. (IR, control panel, tube, positioning tools)	Excellent Student prepared all of necessary items prior to bringing patient into room OR prior to positioning.
Patient Communication Introduction, patient i.d. hx, inquiry about pregnancy (dept. protocol)	Poor Student lacked communication skills prior to and during exam requiring superviser intervention.	Fair Student met 2/4 communication objectives with the patient. (Introduction, verification of identity, history, question of pregnancy)	Excellent Student met 3 or more of the listed communication objectives with the patient.
Equipment Manipulation	Poor	Fair	Excellent
Patient Positioning Demonstrating knowledge of basic patient positions for exam order.	Poor Patient was not positioned correctly for either of the assigned projections. (Prone, Supine, Upright, Decubitus, etc.)	Fair Patient was positioned correctly for 1/2 projections	Excellent Patient was positioned corrrectly for 2/2 projections
Part Positioning Did the student demonstrate the majority of required knowledge to complete projections w/o need for repeat?	Poor The anatomic part(s) were not positioned correctly for either projection; (tech assistance to prevent repeats) (Degree of obliquity, flexion, positioning line placement, etc.)	Fair The anatomic part(s) were positioned correctly for 2 or more of the projections (requiring some supervisory intervention to prevent repeat.	Excellent The anatomic part(s) were positioned correctly for all projections; no major corrections needed.
IR Size & Position /Tube Alignment Demonstrates knowledge of universal protocol.	Poor IR size was inadequate for projection; IR was not oriented correctly;(CW/LW, landscape etc.), tube was not detented or centered to the IR	Fair IR size was correct and oriented, but tube was not centered or detented to the IR	Excellent IR size and orientation was correct. Tube was detented and centered to the IR.
Marker Placement Correct anatomical marker and appropriately placed (visible and no interference)	Poor Required verbal reminder to use marker for more than one projection OR incorrect marker was used for at least one projection.	Fair Correct marker was used for all projections but not appropriately placed; (not visible or in way of important anatomical structures).	Excellent Correct marker was used and appropriately placed for all projections
Collimation	Poor Collimation was not employed either projection, or collimation was too close and cut off required anatomy.	Fair Collimation was employed for 1/2 projections OR collimation was insufficient for either of the projections	Excellent Close collimation was employed for both projections.
Image Evaluation	Poor	Fair	Excellent
Confidence/Proficiency	Poor	Fair	Excellent
