Evaluation will include regular feedback during the rotation, a private conference at the end of the rotation, and completion of the official resident evaluation form. Community activities Home visits may be carried out as part of the overall care of some patients. It is expected that the community worker will arrange for the home visit, carry out a pre-visit if appropriate and accompany the resident during the home visit itself School liaison is an important part of community service. The resident may be called upon to work closely with school nurses in particular clinical situations or in investigating possible school epidemiology. There may be times when the resident is called upon to speak to student or parent groups about aspects of health or hygiene.
Patient education is important.
In large clinics such as the Texas Tech clinics, educational responsibilities are often assigned to other health workers. In the Community Partnership Clinics, these responsibilities fall on the health care providers who work directly with the patient. In addition, the resident may be expected to participate in structured group education programs held within the clinic or another community organization. Health care provider visits provide an opportunity for the resident to learn about the roles of other health care providers in providing comprehensive care. These visits may include local pharmacies, pharmacies in Ju rez or even curanderos.
