I really like the suggestions given in this course, especially the dots.  I plan to use this method in my clinical rotation.

It is so important to use activities when teaching a difficult topic.  Not only do it help students to learn, but it draws them in and help to engage them.

Evaluation and Feedback should be implemented during the internship.  This will allow students' to meet objectives, ask questions and get an snapshot of how they are doing.

Student supervision is key in order to make sure all the arrangements have been made, purposes and operation of the entity that they working with and to make frequent visits to ensure all is going well.  To make sure the internship program is successful, the facility coordinator and on-campus supervisor must work together.

Documentation is important to make sure that the students are meeting the requirements from their intern experience.  It is also vitsl to monitor student's participation and number of hours they are receiving to meet their requisites.

Interships are very good programs.  I remember my first job resulted from an intership; I learn so much and landed a job offer because I had on the job training.  I will encourage my students to take advantage of these types of opportunities to help develop their professional skills. 

Internship is an awesome way students can try out and learn more about health care organizations.  Also, it is an excellent way to land a job opportunity.

Active learning is more enjoyable especially if you are incorporating various learning styles.  It gives students some control over their learning.

Communication is key.  For students to be successful, we as faculty must give clear instuctions on what is require of them.  I plan to use many tools in my class to promote Active Learning.

Yes we do know more than our students, but being prepared proves it.
