  • You are NOT required to bring a videotape to this session, if you do please label it with your name and CEAC exam room number written on the spine of the tape.
  • If the videotape is one you have used previously, make sure your tape is cued to the end of the previously recorded material.

Please arrive at CEAC no later than 1:45 PM, we will start promptly at 2:00 PM

Students will conduct a 10 minute interview with the standardized patient. A warning bell will sound after 8 minutes to indicate there are 2 minutes remaining of the interview. Students may not bring in notes or copies of the BIC to their interviews.

While observing the student interviews, please fill out the BIC’s (abbreviated version) that we will provide in your folders.

Following the interview, you will have 5 minutes to give feedback based upon the abbreviated BIC. To optimize this time, please remain in the exam room during the interview (out of the students’ line of vision – we’ll place your chairs in a convenient spot so you won’t be on the student’s videotape). At the start of feedback, please first ask your student what s/he thinks s/he omitted from the interview. If they respond with sections of the BIC that they did not address during the interview, check off these items on your checklist, giving them credit for the items they mention (including HPI items). Please give the completed BIC’s to the student to use as a study tool for the Session 9 midterm exam.
