OCL 620 - Clinic Trainee I

Credit(s): 2

In Clinic Trainee I-III, students participate in all facets of patient care, including needling, under the direct
supervision of a clinical supervisor, who is physically present at all times to observe all student-patient interactions.
Students are responsible for greeting patients, explaining their role, conducting patient histories and exams, and
documenting all patient progress and treatment interactions. In concert with the clinical supervisor, students
formulate a diagnosis and devise an appropriate treatment plan after which they are assisted by the supervisor
in treating the patient. Over the course of Clinic Trainee I-III, students will assume a greater role in the diagnosis,
treatment planning, and actual treatment of patients themselves as they prepare for the next phase of their clinical
education, where they will function with greater autonomy in caring for patients. (Note: these courses are for
MACM and DACM students.) Prerequisite(s): OAC611, OCL568, CCAHM CNT Certification. Corequisite(s): OAC612
