| Suggestions for the topic | My professor instructed me to include 10 to 15 peer-reviewed academic papers from the past five years in my work, explicitly advising against citing sources from the NIH or CDC. She emphasized that this is part of Assessment 2, where I need to elaborate on the PICOT question. Additionally, she recommended that I thoroughly review the grading rubric to avoid challenges when completing the assessments. |
| Action item: Approved | |
| Discussion about practicum hours | I specifically remember the professor emphasizing the importance of completing all required tasks and submitting the approved practicum hours with each assessment. She mentioned that 20 hours should be dedicated to clinical research, while 80 hours should be allocated to work with the preceptor and log the hours. |
| Action item: Each assessment will include the hours associated with it. |
