Excellence in Clinical Education in the Final Frontier- Part 2

Course Description (This is an online-only event)

In Part 2 of the Alarcon Clinical Education Symposia series for 2020-21 we will look at Setting a Course (planning and preparing for a student) and avoiding the Black Holes (avoiding communication breakdowns, setting appropriate expectations and goals, etc.). Whether you have years of experience avoiding the Black Holes, or are new to Setting a Course, or are working on the ship (in person), or beaming up from elsewhere (online and telepractice), we know you'll find this session to be informative and rewarding.

Have Scotty beam you up, or maybe the safer and easier way would be to just join us on Zoom!
