Draw for timetable development
Objectives
Clinical encounters - One45 logs
One45 logs are essential to plan clinical encounters and to achieve objectives specific to each rotation. With the minimum number of patients to see, a scenario (real patient or other) and your role, each entry guides preceptors and allows them to tailor their teaching to your needs. Rotation directors use it to adjust according to the varied experiences and ensure quality medical education. It is a mandatory tool in all medical schools, as it sets a standard for medical education.
