Tracking Experience Requirements

The UWSMPH has asked each third-year clerkship to identify core experiences for students to track, thus ensuring that all students achieve a minimum of equivalent skills.

You must complete the log, have each skill observed by one or more faculty, and obtain their initials to document that you have received feedback on your performance. Note that we are not necessarily asking your preceptor to verify that you are competent in these areas.
In addition to the paper log, you must also track these experiences on OASIS.
