Patient Log Booklet

In accordance with the requirements set forth by the College of Medicine, the purpose of this component is to record each student-patient encounter in the ambulatory and hospital setting.  A patient log booklet will be carried by the student during his/her clinical activities. Information should be completed in the log for each patient encounter. You will need to bring your log book to your coordinator or director at the end of your second week of the rotation for them to view your log book and make sure you are on track to see the required number of patients and diagnoses. This will need to be turned in at the end of the clerkship and signed by your Site Director.

For each patient encounter, the following will need to be recorded:

1. Patient’s Initials

2. Principal Diagnosis

3. Date Seen

4. Preceptor

On the front of the booklet, be sure and complete the “Student Name”, “Rotation”, and “Dates”.
