Two Weeks Before Mid-Term

Two weeks before mid-term:
Time to start thinking of the TCU patients as your own. This, obviously, means knowing them. (If you need the daily patient sheet, I will happily print it for you. Just make sure the patients' names and MRNs are blacked out or cut off the page before you take it off campus.)

Come to clinic relatively prepared with these three questions in mind: e.g. which patients, what deficits, and with which treatment tasks?

Take a little time when you first arrive to select materials, then let's head out to your first patient. Remember, of course, that patient may not be available so be prepared to move on to another.
