In the morning, the student will shadow Dr. Cafer and actively analyze medication regimens and treatment planning. The student will not be entering documentation into the medical record, instead using a paper dashboard comprising a "systematic approach to psychiatric medication management", which will mimic the dashboard Dr. Cafer uses. Essentially, Dr. Cafer will repurpose his patient management tool as a teaching tool. Throughout the morning, Dr. Cafer will hand the student his dashboards (one for each patient) for the student to copy and compare. Although the core education will be focused on medication regimens, the student will become familiar with methods of organizing other information about the patient including medical/psychiatric/social histories as applicable to mental status exam, diagnosis formulation, risk assessment, and discharge planning. Incidentally to reviewing Dr. Cafer's dashboards, the student will learn abbreviations and shorthand techniques that may be useful for future personal notetaking. The student needs to commit weekday afternoons toward learning about medications and analyzing patients' medication regimens. The student will be orally quizzed on medication facts to solidify memorization.
