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 (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.

Now that you have been working at your practicum site for more than a month, it is time to
test your skills. Your Preceptor will now assess your clinical skills in a midterm clinical
evaluation. In preparation for your evaluation, you may wish to review your PMHNP
Clinical Skills List document, as well as revisit the goals and objectives you established in
Weeks 1 and 2.
To Prepare
Check with your Preceptor to verify that they have received Meditrek credentials.
Following your midterm evaluation, your Clinical Faculty and Preceptor will meet
privately to discuss your results and feedback. Once you receive your feedback, compare
your Preceptor’s evaluation with your self-evaluation to better understand your clinical
performance.
By Day 7 of Week 5
Your evaluation should be completed by your Preceptor.
