Clinical Update: July 28, 2014

Two weeks left in the semester and I'm sure you're all focused on getting classwork turned in! It's almost nearly August--World Breastfeeding Month! Make sure you tell a mom how great it is to feed their babies!

Just a reminder, if you're in clinical placement, don't forget to turn in your clinical paperwork--this is very important! You must submit at the end of each semester you're in a clinical placement:
1. Statement of Clinical Progress (and experience logs)
2. Clinical Self Evaluation
3. Student Evaluation of Preceptor
4. Preceptor Evaluation of Student
If you have not done any clinical experiences this semester, there is no need to send any of this paperwork in. If you have done only observed experiences, you can send those logs in alone. If it takes you past the end of the term, send them anyway-better late than never. As always, pdf format and uploading through the CLNC 100 class is preferred!

A few upcoming events in the next two weeks:
Clinical Rounds (Shannon Smith on Drug Use and Abuse during Pregnancy), Wednesday, August 6 at 11 am MDT
Preparing to Apply for the NARM Exam, Wednesday, August 6 at 12 pm MDT

And speaking of Clinical Rounds, I have openings for fall presentations starting in September. Remember that you are required to present at Rounds at least one time before graduating. Share what you're learning from your clinical experience with your classmates! Email me for a date and for more guidance.
