Clinical Hour Log
For this course, all practicum activity hours are logged within the Meditrek system. Hours
completed must be logged in Meditrek within 48 hours of completion in order to be
counted.
You may only log hours with Preceptors that are approved in Meditrek. Students with
catalog years before Spring 2018 must complete a minimum of 576 hours of supervised
clinical experience (144 hours in each practicum course). Students with catalog years
beginning Spring 2018 must complete a minimum of 640 hours of supervised clinical
experience (160 hours in each practicum course).

Each log entry must be linked with an individual practicum Learning Objective or a
graduate Program Objective. You should track your hours in Meditrek as they are
completed.
Your clinical hour log must include the following:
 Dates
 Course
 Clinical Faculty
 Preceptor
 Total Time (i.e., for the day)
 Notes/Comments (including the objective to which the log entry is aligned)
Patient Log
Throughout this course, you will also keep a log of patient encounters using Meditrek. You
must record at least 80 encounters with patients by the end of this practicum (40
children/adolescents and 40 adult/older adult).
The patient log must include the following:
 Date
 Course
 Clinical Faculty
 Preceptor
 Patient Number
 Client Information
 Visit Information
 Practice Management
 Diagnosis
 Treatment Plan and Notes: You must include a brief summary/synopsis of the
patient visit. This does not need to be a SOAP note, however the note needs to be
sufficient to remember your patient encounter.
By Day 7 of Week 2
Record your clinical hours and patient encounters in Meditrek.
