Instructions:
- Please record every patient encounter on the appropriate
page in your pocket syllabus. The degree of involvement
to meet the definition of "patient encounter"
is face-to-face with transfer of information.
Examples that meet the criteria: |
| 1. You work-up a patient in the ER, clinic or in the
hospital. |
| 2. You are present when another practitioner (MD, DO,
PA, ARNP) interviews and examines the patient, and an
assessment and plan are discussed. Rounding on new patients
in the hospital meets this criterion. Shadowing your preceptor
on new patients in clinic is sufficient. |
| |
| Examples that don't meet the criteria: |
| 1. Discussion of a patient who is not physically present.
This could be in clinic or at a conference. |
| 2. Follow-up visits in clinic or on the wards in which
only a small part of the problem is discussed such as
response to an antiepileptic or headache medication. |
