In my classes (even acupuncture technique), I make the students write 3 page essays for their trimester final paper. 4 pages might be pushing it, since many feel overloaded already with other classes and written and practical tests. What has been your experience of your students' writing skills, since many of them don't have this kind of background? (everyone wrote papers in high school English classes, but maybe not in college). This seems essential to be able to communicate effectively, instead of just circling multiple choice dots. Verbalizing concepts uses another side of the brain too (or integrating both halves, depending on how you look at it)... another thing we need to cultivate as practitioners teaching patients.
