The orientation can be with the staff or the doctor or both. We want the students to become quickly comfortable in our learning environment. We want the students to be well matched to our site. We always seek feedback and criticism first. Nurses talk at their morning meeting about cases for the student.
Doctors arrive a bit early.
Spend time with student before patients. Every patient should not be seen by every student. Have student carry pad for writing down questions. One take-home point per half day is our goal. After-patient time is limited.
