Guest guest Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 > I've been doing this as supervisor shift at ECTOM (we call it Clinical Theater) . I think it's one of the best moves they've done in a long time. (good going Will). I see 2 patients in a 3 hour evening shift. I see it as a way to fill the pre-interns on some details that I see my other interns making mistakes on. For example, how and when to use a tube or freehand. How to do an intake and focus on the problems at hand. (Ever heard my domino theory of diagnosis?) How to put 10 needles between your fingers so you're not making endless trips around the room. Patient confidentiality. Simple things. Also bigger issues of codependency and attachment to the results. Maybe most importantly what the supervisors expect of the interns. Especially when it comes to herbs. Stuff like that. ECTOM has a preclinical course, but it is a classroom class where they learn about OSHA regs etc... doug in LA > < > modeling > > Dear Colleagues > > I wanted to say something about modeling in the educational setting and > what I believe constitutes the best education for students.
