Purpose of clinical audit project
·      The CAP is a capstone project for students to synthesise what they have learned from the population and preventive health curriculum (includes evidence based medicine, research, health systems, quality and safety, and professionalism) in the first three years of the MBBS and apply it in a real-life clinical workplace to measure and advocate for improvements in the quality of an aspect of patient care.
Scores interpretation and use
·      CAP scores contribute to 10% of student’s overall final year grade
·      CAP scores are used to identify students who have demonstrated significant deficiency in their ability to conduct and report a CAP, so that these students can undergo a remediation program, either to improve on the existing audit project or conduct a new project
