Learning new skills
I thought the ideas concerning health care education was great. Teaching the students how to listen to a story, then having them describe the persons physical attributes was great, it teaches them how to listen plus evaluate other aspects of the person. Very good for health care professional assesments of a patient. Great idea.
donald, if you can relate the clinical time to the exam, your students will see relevance to learning.

I teach nursing assistant skills in the classroom. Students return from clinical hands on hours and reflect that things are done differently in the real world. I try and refocus them to the point of being successful on their state test. This sometimes is hard for them to understand so early in their career.
Stephanie, observational skills and assessment data are important tools for all professionals in healthcare.

This particular learning tool really stood out to me. It is exactly what our students need in order to prepare for the daily challenges in healthcare.
I can see where this skill set would be most valuable to our health care professional's assessment of a patient. Who would have thought all of our senses would provide such value.
Douglas, I hope you implement this activity as soon as it is relevant to your classes.
