Any requested/specifc areas of focus: I am still trying to improve on my communication with

patients as that has been something that has brought up in the past. Because of this, I have trouble
fnding a balance between letting the residents/students to be the patients physician and me
interrupting to provide reassurance and as needed revising
Introduction Notes
1 Introduced self Always

2 Developed rapport with learners Very easy to talk about patients with. I was
always comfortable asking Dr Phan any
questions I had regarding patient care

3 Established ground rules or expectations On day 1

4 Set goals for the session/ time together

Body of Session Notes

1 Uses learner centered approach to teaching Dr Phan used bedside rounds very effectively.
I believe it worked because he allowed the
resident/students to present plans; allowing
the pt to see we all help with their care.

2 Gets a commitment from learner

3 Probes learners thinking for evidence behind He did a good job at asking appropriate
decisions questions on rounds about why we wanted to
do something and then taught if appropriate.

4 Teaches general principles He gave a great antibiotics chalk talk

presentations.
