(yay!). Some students, along with their mentors, have written more of a “what we focused on” verses going in with a pre-meditated “goal” for the event. That is totally fine! Whatever works for you and your mentor is perfect. The purpose of the shadowing is
for each of you to develop meaningful connections with your clinical mentors, get comfortable asking for feedback and receiving feedback and to facilitate conversation around the experience. Of course, keeping “clinically fresh” during your PhD years, too.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Guys, we are already engaging so much more with our clinical constituents than in the past. At first, it might feel silly obtaining a signature on an index card, but it
has already proven to start conversation (verses the MedHub evals). Even though optional, all the clinical mentors, so far, have opted to write brief notes of feedback and/or focuses for the event and I would assume discussed the feedback and focus with the
student, too. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Develop a schedule that works for you and your clinical mentor and obtain at least 7 cards by April 30<sup>th</sup>. Attend your scheduled Standardized Training event(s)
each semester. Finally, take a few minutes to review the guidelines below (also on page 8 of your Clinical Shadowing Guide- attached).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
