IPTC: What is the visit approach?
 Teams

Students join forces BEFORE the visit.
 Review

the chart TOGETHER.
This allows you a chance to get to know each
other AND the patient.
 Talk
about what you want to know/do in the
room.
 Talk about how to approach the patient
encounter as a team.
IPTC: What is the visit approach?
 Teams


Students see the patients AS a TEAM.
Students report back to the attending
AFTER the visit AS a TEAM.
 Often
the medical student presents the
patient, but ALL students have a voice.

The medical student is responsible for
documenting the patient visit, but the TEAM
develops the assessment and plan.

 Roles

We encourage you to define your roles by
what the patient needs today.
 Start
with your professional training and
scope of practice.
 Next, allow yourself to participate in new
ways.
 Last, always come back to what YOU can
do for the patient today.
* We need
to revise
this to
include PT
and Law.
IPTC: Looking back as looking forward
 Reflect
on your performance individually
and as a team.
 Incorporate your reflections into your next
patient encounter.
 Debrief! Share your anxieties, frustrations,
and questions with your team and your
faculty.
 Always, come back full circle to the
patient’s needs and let that guide you.
