During the first clinical site visit, I presented four SOAP notes and five drug cards. I discussed patients who had eyelid erythema and swelling, a pruritic rash, a sore throat and body aches, and dysuria. My site evaluator and I discussed differential diagnoses and various assessments and plans. He provided good constructive feedback on how I could elaborate on the patient’s story and how to document a more detailed physical exam.

During the second site visit, I presented four more SOAP notes, five drug cards, and an article. I discussed patients who presented with mouth pain, abdominal pain, a hand laceration, and knee pain. The article was about acute pyelonephritis in children, which I chose because I suspected my patient with abdominal pain had pyelonephritis. My preceptor and I decided it was best to send that patient to the hospital for further evaluation. As per my evaluator’s feedback, I improved on documenting my physical exams and demonstrated good clinical knowledge.
