Dr. Hood's expectations
1. Arrive on time, business casual with badge (white coat is optional), and ready to learn!
2. These are real patients, not SPs. Be mentally prepared for any potential negative attitudes or comments from patients. If an uncomfortable feeling arises, excuse yourself, leave the room, and inform Dr. Hood.
3. You represent USCSOMG and Prisma Health. It is essential to speak and act professionally.
4. No time limit in the room, however patient’s seem to get restless after >10 minutes of counseling. Read the room and the patient’s comfort level.
