Rotation 5 site evaluation summary
For my 1st site evaluation, I presented a case on priapism as well as an article related to my case. My case was about a patient with prolong erections for 3 days and that he had to undergo a procedure to drain all the deoxygenated blood from his penis. The article was about how effective is phenylephrine in treating ischemic priapism compared to terbutaline. My site evaluator also went over my procedure log and tested me on the ten pharm cards. I think our site evaluation session went well. However, I was given comments on the format of my H&Ps. I was being told that I should not be following the format that I had been using since didactic year. During the 1st year of PA school, I was being taught that I should have included all the physical exam on the H&Ps. The parts of the physical exams that were not performed should be highlighted or in a different color. My site evaluator suggested that I should be getting used to writing HPs like I am a provider. Physical exams that were not performed should not be included in the HPs. I agree with her suggestion. Therefore, I made changes to my 3rd /last HP and presented it during my second site evaluation. It went well and she thought that the format of the 3rd H&P was much better.
