DC for Clients and Facilitators

Diagnostic Challenge Appointments

The DC appointment schedule forms provide a way for clients and students to schedule time together during DC week.

Each DC clinic first meets with their client & facilitator the morning of Day1.  This is when the students get the initial history and physical exam findings on their case. After that first meeting and throughout the week, each DC Clinic can then sign up for additional time with their client using the client's appointment schedule.

• Appointment schedules can be placed on the door of your assigned space or you can keep it with you so that your groups of students can sign up for open times.  If necessary, you can also block off times when you won't be available.
• There is a separate sign-up sheet for each day.   
• Encourage each of the groups to sign up early so both the client and the students know when the meetings are scheduled.
