To familiarize with treatment protocols for various pathological conditions, each intern is required to attend Clinic Case Presentation Conferences. Each intern must completely record sixteen (16) case studies presented in the conference by using the Case Study Form or CSF.<\/p>\n 13. To demonstrate competency inpatient management for various pathological conditions, each intern is required to present four (4) Case Presentations, which will be a complete, detailed documentation of the intern\u2019s clinic treatment experience. For each case, one Patient of a particular pathology is chosen about which the presentation is written.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Others:<\/p>\n 1. Interns may not progress to the next clinic internship level unless they have successfully completed quantitative and qualitative clinic requirements by the end of the quarter. A grade shall be given for completion \u201cP\u201d of all clinic requirements for that phase. Incomplete grades or failing grades will be issued if all work is not successfully completed.<\/p>\n 2. Clinical instruction is competency-based. Therefore, the student must successfully demonstrate the clinical skills outlined for that level before moving to a subsequent phase. All the interns are evaluated upon their attendance and performance according to a number of parameters by the clinic supervisors.<\/p>\n 3. This internship phase may begin during the quarter break period with prior mandatory Clinic Orientation Session.<\/p>\n 4. Interns may not begin the internship until they have attended the Clinic Orientation Session.<\/p>\n 5. Punctuality and accurate time card punching is to be observed.<\/p>\n 6.
