When using the 3 M model I have had positive results towards the latter part of a course by utilizing field trips to worksites. The students go through periods where everything like the daily grind of school and working can start to wear them down. I have found that a field trip to a physical therapy clinic perks them back up and lets them see the light at the end of the tunnel so to speak. I make sure they realize how soon it will be before they will be working in that setting, first in clinical hours then as a career. It is good to see the eyes of the students light up as they start to see the work they have been putting in is about to pay off.
