Interactive learning activities can help students retain difficult concepts. Personal hygiene and dressing for success is the first step to a good impression. Instructors must take the time to impart this knowledge to the benefit of the student, as well as the reputation of the university, and the comfort of the patients we serve. 

Visual and kinesthetic activities are powerful strategies to reach many learners. The shower cap and t-shirt idea (drawing the human anatomy)is very engaging and I believe a creative learning tool.

I really like the red, blue and green dot as a clinical teaching tool. This idea will allow myself and the students to track progress in an organized way with ease.

Evaluations serve as a means for feedback that provides opportunities for improvements among the facilitating internship site. Student feedback can be a valuable tool for improving the evaluator as well as student.

Supervisor roles can be educational, supportive, or managerial. 

It is important to conduct pre-internship communication to understand the process and to complete all required documentation.

The internship provides students the opportunity to practice the importance of professionalism, adaptability, and experimental growth.

Internships allow students the opportunity to apply the skills and strategies they have learned in theory, transitioning theories into real world applications. It gives them the chance to experience their new career while still under guidance from an instructor. It may also open the door for an opportunity to stay with the organization post graduation.

Customer service is essential in an educational institution. Creating a welcoming environment builds trust and encourages students to stay engaged in their education. When students feel supported, it brings more students, as they share their positive experiences with the community.
