  • Pass a paper with a certain grade?
  • Understand a particular area of pathophysiology better?

Placement / Clinical Confidence Goal: 

  • What do you want to learn on placement?
  • Is there a skill you want to become more confident in?
  • Do you want to gain more confidence when talking with patients or other medical staff?

Self-Care / Burnout Prevention Goal:
