- Feedback: Ask for feedback often. You will also meet with your campus director formally at midrotation. Please bring completed Self Evaluation and print out of One45 Procedure Log to that meeting.
- Clinical Log: You will be required to document that you saw all core clinical conditions and procedures that are part of the rotation in the Clinical Log. This foreshadows documentation requirements that you will be asked to follow the rest of your career. Failure to document in log will delay release of your grade.
