Purpose: The VISE assignment (Virtual Interactive Student Evaluation) is to evaluate student progress in clinical, based on per course clinical objectives.  This will be a mid-term check to identify and assist students who may be struggling with clinical critical thinking and communication.  Students who do not pass the VISE on the first attempt will be placed on a clinical PIP and given a second attempt at passing the VISE prior to course end.  The student must successfully pass the VISE to pass clinical within a course.

Directions: These will be done by phone between the VP and the student sometime between the beginning of week 3 and the end of week 5. Immediately following the VISE the VP and student will do the mid-term phone call check in and review of clinical. VPs should have clinical logs pulled up to review with the student.

603 – Referral to specialist - The VP (professor) will review the student’s clinical logs, from the past two weeks, and select one patient with a complex chronic illness who needs a specialist referral. The professor will notify the student of the patient selected, prior to the call. During the VISE assignment call, the professor will act as specialist taking the call.

The student is to do the following:

• Pick the correct specialty to refer to
• Give a SNAPPS summary to the specialist
• Answer the specialist’s questions about the patient
