FINAL CLINICAL EVALUATION:
I. Student Comments:
A. Areas of Strength:
I believe my areas of strength are the same as when I reviewed for MidTerm.

I am willing to jump in and do whatever needs to be done and assist fellow team r

B. Areas for Improvement:
One area for improvement I need to continue to work on is time management. I do be

With cultural sensitivities becoming more important in providing quality care, I feel t i
about the specific differences between cultural/religious/ethnic groups and what s
and beliefs are so that I can be more effective in assisting patients when the need an:On care plans/concept maps - I need to focus on:
