Table 8: Student Exemplars.

Area Exemplar Reference count
Practices "My site was an integrative medicine site, so I learned a lot that I would not have otherwise been exposed to in our curriculum about alternative medical techniques and particularly about the importance of nutrition. I also was exposed to a private practice (which I also would not be exposed to in our curriculum) and got a lot of value in seeing the benefits/drawbacks of private practice". 8
Differential diagnosis and oral presentation "My preceptor always encouraged me to develop differentials, testing, and treatment plans and I feel like working in LP increased my clinical skills by leaps and bounds". 31
Technology "I was able to regularly practice my vitals-taking skills, room patients, enter their data into their electronic charts, occasionally interview patients and report to a doctor, and shadow". 7
Varieties of patients "I got to see a wide variety of cases and patients that will help me understand how to work with people of diverse backgrounds and conditions". 64
