The clinical conferences will be student-directed, and will include group discussions, critiques, case presentations and analysis, and health promotion issues. Since faculty make a Midterm and Final Visit to the clinical site, students must make an effort to facilitate the faculty visit. This means the student must make sure that they are in the clinical agency at a time the faculty is visiting that specific geographic area. The clinical preceptor will evaluate the student at midterm and at the end of the course via the preceptor evaluation form found in the planning packet. These evaluations should be turned into the instructor.
Clinical logs serve as a summative self-evaluation of the student s progress.
The log is used to address issues such as good and bad points of the clinical day, did the day s experience help the student meet their goals, and how the student felt about the day s clinical experience. The logs are also meant to be a record of the kind and the number of procedures performed and the types of patients and experiences the student encountered. Logs are to be completed daily and handed in during the on-campus clinical conference. Clinical logs must be legibly written in ink or typed. Pages must be numbered consecutively.
