Clinical Study Internship Remote Learning Plans

Day 1 – Complete Power Point presentation that you were assigned last class on your classroom instruction and clinical experience in the NCCC Internship program. Remember to include pictures and personal experiences (to include your growth/affirmation towards your career goal) as well as factual information - Please be mindful not to violate HIPPA – do not include specific names, gender, age, etc.

Day 2 – COVID 19 Epidemiologist Assignment: See the attached packet for instructions. Turn in via email jmorris@newberry.k12.sc.us

Day 3 – Work on your Senior Portfolio Assignment – Review your “Timeline for Senior Portfolio Assignment” packet. It doesn’t hurt to get ahead at the same time you are aware what is currently due…2 letters of recommendation – I would highly encourage you to obtain at least one of them from your clinical site as you have spent roughly 19 weeks with them.

Day 4 – “The 5-Part Interview” – Please read over the packet and answer the “Mock Interview Questions” and complete the Job Skills Word Search. Turn in questions and answers via email.

Day 5 – Complete the Diversity Comfort Level packet on your personal beliefs on caring for others that maybe different from yourself. Also, complete the Medical Mathematics packet.

Day 6 – Medical Terminology Assignment – Please use the following link to complete: https://www.dmu.edu/medterms/ Screen shot the quizzes and email them to me as you complete them. If it gives you the opportunity to print a certificate of completion, please send that to me as well.

Day 7 – Continue working on your Medical Terminology Assignment and complete the Medical Terminology Explore Activity

Day 8 – Create 3 scenarios/case studies based on your clinical experience. Include symptoms, medical terminology, vital signs, treatment plan, pathology, medications, etc. You may include gender, age, and race. These will be presented to your peers for discussion.

Day 9 – Complete the NCHSE 32 Sample Question Test.

Day 10 – Upon completion of your assigned book you will need to prepare for a “Book Talk.” You will demonstrate an understanding of the book by doing so. In the book talk, you will be required to give an overview of the book, read two passages that stand out to you, and give an overall critique of the book. You will also need to create a visual (poster board will be provided) for the presentation. Be prepared to present first day back in class. The books are listed below:

Absence:

The policies in the Newberry County Career Center Student/Parent Handbook will be strictly adhered to. Students are allowed 5 absences in a semester class, 10 absences in a yearlong class. This program strongly discourages any absences over 6 days per year. Students must provide the instructor with documentation for each absence. Regular attendance is of vital importance in the attainment of course competencies.

Make-up:

Students are held responsible to get the assignments missed on the same day they are absent; through the instructor’s choice of portal or another classmate. All assignments missed during the absence are expected to be completed upon the day the student returns. If the student does not have the assignment on the returning day, it will be considered late. If the student missed part of the class, the assignment is due the next day.

Homework:

Homework is essential to mastering Health Science 1. It improves the student’s thinking and memory, teaches responsibility for work, and helps the students to be prepared for the next class. It will be checked regularly. Grading of homework consist of one of the following:

· Checked to see if homework was completed. Grade will be based upon percent completed.

· A random selection of homework task/problems will be graded for accuracy.

Late work: (Pertains to homework and projects)

Assignments are to be turned in on time. The following grading policy will be used for late assignments:

1 day late: ½ credit

2 days late: ¼ credit

3 days late: no credit

Major Projects:

· #1 Senior Capstone Project

Ø The SCP is the culminating activity of a student’s educational experience and is produced during the senior year. The project is embedded in the Health Science CATE class and will count as a percentage of those grades. This project is intended to be an intensive, active learning progression, requiring significant effort in planning and implementation. The project provides students with the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and showcase the skills they have acquired over the past eleven years. It fosters lifetime interests and learning habits while providing students with a sense of accomplishment. It combines academic, career, and community components intended to challenge one’s ability, stretch one’s limitations, and celebrate one’s individuality. The Senior Capstone Project a fitting conclusion to a student’s entire education.

· #2 Health Science Clinical Study – Internship Journal(s)

Ø Journals will be checked periodically throughout the clinical experience for a class grade. This will count as a major grade at the end of the semester.
