Introduction
You are at the halfway point of your practicum and have now received feedback via your midterm clinical evaluation. Consider this feedback, as well as the goals you set for yourself at the beginning of the quarter, and benchmark your progress thus far. Which goals are on track, behind, or already achieved? What steps do you need to take to attain the rest of your goals? Are there new goals you would like to consider?
This week, as you progress in your clinical practicum, you continue to use Meditrek to record your time and patient encounters.

Clinical Hour Log
For this course, all practicum activity hours are logged within the Meditrek system. Hours completed must be logged in Meditrek within 48 hours of completion in order to be counted.
You may only log hours with Preceptors that are approved in Meditrek. Students with catalog years before Spring 2018 must complete a minimum of 576 hours of supervised clinical experience (144 hours in each practicum course). Students with catalog years beginning Spring 2018 must complete a minimum of 640 hours of supervised clinical experience (160 hours in each practicum course).
Each log entry must be linked with an individual practicum Learning Objective or a graduate Program Objective. You should track your hours in Meditrek as they are completed.
