  • In addition to the above listed Skills and Achievements topics, the following clinical presentations or skills are REQUIRED FOR GRADUATION and therefore you absolutely must log them while on our clerkship. Otherwise, you might have to make arrangements to make up the experience during your 4th year. Remember you may log CBCs and simulations. Each one of these topics is covered in a CBC or during orientation; therefore, if you do not see them during your time on our service, you should have completed and attended a CBC on the topic and therefore can log it in your patient log: abnormal cervical cytology, breast abnormalities, HIV, pelvic pain, pregnancy, vaginal discharge, Pap smear, domestic violence, osteoporosis screening and prevention, preconception counseling, prenatal history and risk assessment, safe sexual practices.

I understand that topics listed above are covered during this clerkship and are required for graduation. I attest that I have logged each topic listed above into my patient log. I understand that failure to do so may result in a lower procedural and professional competency evaluation, and may have to be made up in the fourth year.
