Clinic Workflow

1. Medical students will take the patient's history and vitals, and will perform relevant physical exams they are trained in, and then present patients to you! (Note: most volunteers are pre-clinical students who are learning how to take histories, present patients, etc. Feedback on these clinical skills is appreciated!)
2. Students and attending will return to the patient to collect any further history, and/or perform any additional physical exams, and to discuss plans, prescriptions, lab orders, etc. Students will then document the encounter in EMR.
3. Meanwhile, student coordinators will present lab results from patients from, relevant medical history, and chief complaints from the previous week's clinic.
4. After discussing plans/recommendations with you, students will call the patients with their results and the plan of action, and record this encounter in the EMR. You will need to sign off on all notes and telephone encounters (ideally at the end of clinic, but can be done at your convenience).
