Development plan

The rotation lasts for one month.

Each center must have a reception plan and a schedule of activities with the methodology and the professionals that will participate.

 

Respecting the activities that the center already has included in its teaching plan, we propose the following general schedule

The student will dedicate the first week to getting to know the environment and the professionals (neighborhood, center, resources, professionals, roles, organization and management of the work of the tutor and the center itself).

During the second and third weeks, he will actively participate in the consultation and the joint addresses, always with a tutor, he will practice techniques (from anamnesis to the instrumental ones, always guaranteeing the confidentiality and safety of the patients and of the student himself), he will prepare at least a clinical session and optimally some research work, and will intervene in non-care activities (community, training and research).

The fourth week presentation of the session and if appropriate of the research work

They will also carry out the final evaluation with the tutor's feedback and a reflective practice. also with feed back

It will end with a reflective practice on what he has experienced and learned during his rotation, which must be shared with the tutor.

In the event that the center, for organizational reasons due to the pandemic, cannot guarantee any of the activities that are a mandatory part of the rotation, we propose the following alternatives

Regarding the clinical session, the student will also prepare a session and share it with the tutor, live or online and, once evaluated by both, they can share it with the rest of the team, by video conference or by email (section clinical session)

Regarding community activities, the student will make a report on those activities that have been carried out in the health center, related to the community, during the last two years (objectives, methodology, if satisfaction or impact have been evaluated) incorporating an analysis of the student (community activity section)

Regarding the research activities, the student will carry out a bibliographic search on the topic they choose, with the agreement of the tutor, they will comment on it and they will be able to share it with the rest of the team, by email or in a session. An alternative could be to carry out an analysis of the research work that has been done in the CAP in the last three years and share it with the tutor. (Investigation section)

All these activities will be evaluated by the tutors themselves and incorporated into the final evaluation, in the same section of the evaluation sheet.
