For this assignment, students will create ONE SOAP notes reflective of the patient care experience in the clinical setting under the
supervision of the clinical preceptor in the role of the clinical provider. This assignment will evaluate the student’s clinical reasoning
skills, interviewing skills, physical exam skills, selection of diagnostic testing, differential diagnosis, pharmaceutical and non-
pharmaceutical treatment, patient education, and follow-up plan.
Students must develop the clinical skills and knowledge required for safe practice and deliver best patient outcomes upon graduation.
SOAP notes should be used to document each patient seen in the clinical setting. Clear, concise, and thorough documentation is
