Welcome to the SPRING QUARTER DAOM CLINICAL ROUNDS NEWSLETTER. An important part of the DAOM Program is that every fellow takes a lead in determining their educational and professional goals. The DAOM Clinical Rounds allows fellows to work closely with the DAOM Clinical Advisor on advance topics and a team based approach to healthcare.
After a review of the DAOM Clinic and a discussion with the clinic staff, we need to go over the following items for the Spring Quarter.
In the Newsletter we're going to go over:
- CNT, OSHA, and Blood Borne Pathogens
- Clinical Rounds Registration
- Safety and CNT
- Dress Code
- IDs
- Cleaning Rooms
- Physical Exam Skills
- Required Equipment
- CPR and First-Aid
- Malpractice
- HIPAA
As a reminder
please read the whole email
so that you don't miss any important details. This is where we will include useful links and other information. If you think something is missing that should be included in the newsletter please let us know.
Sincerely,
The DAOM Program Office

Clinical Rounds Registration Form
|
|
Clinic Rounds Registration
|
The Spring Quarter Rounds registration is now available below. All DAOM Fellows need to use the form to request their shift night (Thursday or Friday) and dates. This includes out-of-state fellows, so we can make sure we accurately schedule the shifts.
Due to teaching and safety issues in the clinic, the maximum number of students per shift is capped at 6. What is means is that for DAOM Weekends, priority for the shifts will go to students from out-of-state, and then based on seniority.
Students not on the schedule will be sent home, so please make sure that you signup below.

Clinic Charting Guidelines

Clinic Charting Guidelines

Patient charts are a legal document and as such serves as a validation for services rendered. Inadequate charting can result in improper treatment or poor documentation of treatment rendered. So charting must be done in an accurate, concise, legible and well-ordered manner.

Physical Examination Skills
|
DAOM Fellows are expected to have basic competency in physical exam skills from prior master's program training, including taking vitals. For example, DAOM fellows are expected to be able to manually take blood pressure, pulse rate, respiratory rate, and temperature.
Fellows should refer to the following manuals to review physical examination skills:
-UCSD's Practical Guide to Clinical Medicine. Meded.ucsd.edu.
https://meded.ucsd.edu/clinicalmed/. Published 2019. Accessed March 20, 2019. (Free website with physical examination resources)
If necessary, DAOM Fellows should review physical examination resources and practice the skills with other fellows.
|
|
|
DAOM Fellows must maintain current CPR/AED AND FIRST-AID Certifications throughout the program, and must be carried with me at all times in the clinic.
You need to have both CPR/AED AND FIRST-AID. BLS is awesome, but it is only CPR. If you have a BLS CPR cert, remember you will also need a First-Aid certification.
