Student Schedule
Students select a weekly 4.5 hour shift in the CSCH Clinic, where they work with clients and create case write-ups for each visit. These anonymized cases are evaluated by senior faculty and fellow clinicians, and discussed during a series of 30 weekly Round Tables on Thursdays.
In addition, student clinicians create client handouts, research and develop a capstone project, complete practicum in classroom teaching, clinical skills, and apothecary training. Clinic students also attend bi-monthly professional development seminars on topics such as business practices, legal requirements, marketing, advanced Materia Medica and formulation, and therapeutic issues.
