setting and the asssigned patients.

The Student will:

1. Apply all previously learned concepts maintaining prior skills and be

and client care during rotations in obstetrics, nursery schools, and

intermediate care facilities for the developmentally delayed residents.

clinics with immunization schedule and CHDP clients.

4. Participation in the documentation of normal growth & development on
