ed106 groups/individual
I only spend about 10-15 minutes with a group of 5 students at the beginning of clinic. After that the students go and work with there perspective patients. While I have them in the huddle I have them tell me what their plan for the day is with there patient. I always leave time for any questions that they might have regarding there patient or any other questions. So I spend more time individually with each student. Sometimes it's hard because some students need more attention than others and I feel as though I cut them short. What I will do is let the students know that if another clinical instructor is available they can always go to them.
Denise,
yes the availability is so important to helping our students & to them seeking out our help.

Being "available" where students can see you at different times is helpful in connecting when a new question/issue arises.
Abel,
it really is hard for the individual attention but it is such a great way to really reach our students & help them in the best way possible.
