TTC 1501 TRANSITION TO CLERKSHIPS
Through a series of didactics, small group breakout discussions, team-based learning exercises, and hands-on skills training in the Simulation Center, knowledge and skills necessary to effectively transition to the clinical clerkships are developed. After a general orientation to roles and expectations on the clerkships, students work through exercises to develop skills in effective feedback, case presentations, clinical documentation in the electronic health record, inter-professional teamwork, and effective time management. This course includes training and certification in Advanced Cardiac Life Support. In addition, small groups are taught and assessed in various procedural skills including safe patient handovers, recognizing the sick patient, knot tying, suturing, and sterile gown and gloving. Necessary credentialing and training modules required by our affiliated hospitals are also completed. Competency in each of the required skills must be demonstrated.
