For this rotation, my site evaluations were completed via Blackboard Collaborate with my site evaluator and two other students rotating at a different site. However, despite being online, I had met my site evaluator in the pediatric office, and we shared the same screen for the final site evaluation.
During the mid site evaluation, each of us shared the names of the drugs we had selected for our pharm cards, and the other two students took turns every other drug naming its drug class, mechanism of action, indications, contraindications, side effects, and monitoring parameters. This was different from all of my previous site evaluations for which I had provided all of the aforementioned details of my own drug cards. Nevertheless, we each presented one patient case/H&P and discussed possible differential diagnoses before the final diagnosis was eventually shared followed by the assessment and plan.
Our final site evaluation followed the same format with the addition of presenting our related journal articles after our patient cases/H&Ps. Additionally, our site evaluator provided feedback from our previous H&Ps, which was helpful in better understanding the importance of mentioning both pertinent positives and pertinent negatives in both the history and physical exam to more definitively rule out diagnoses and narrow down our differentials moving forward.
