Degree of structure | Activities | Learning |
---|---|---|
Structured | Weekly roster of activities (e.g., clinical activities, specialist outreach visits and scheduled assessments) | Planned, sheltered teaching and learning time (e.g., time with family physician or visiting specialist) |
Individualised/ Tailored | Determined by variability of patients presenting to emergency centre or primary care clinic, especially if there is a self-identified need of student to see a patient with a specific condition required for patient portfolio (according to the prescribed list of ‘common conditions’); Also determined by the variability of context, e.g., supervisory capacity of clinician educators during workload fluctuations. | Ad-hoc learning activity to address individual’s learning needs (e.g., individual student’s learning gap identified in shared patient consultation or book-learning for assessment) |
