Identify what your practice best exemplifies within the content of the stated objectives; find creative ways to bring this out. Before each session quickly review student’s objectives and priorities and course objectives for that session. Review the appointment schedule and think creatively about how objectives might be addressed with the scheduled patients. Help the student identify related content from other patient visits. For example, if the assignment is to take a history of a sensitive subject (abuse, sexual history, etc.) and this does not work out, identify themes of privacy, confidentiality, discussing difficult subjects, etc.
