Support is available at . Assignment Descriptions:Shadow Health? Digital Clinical Experience?:The Shadow Health? Digital Clinical Experience? (DCE) provides a dynamic, immersive experience designed to improve your skills and clinical reasoning through the examination of digital standardized patients. Although these patients are digital, each one breathes, speaks, and has a complex medical and psychosocial history. The DCE is free of many of the constraints and interruptions you face in a hospital or clinical setting. This unique simulation experience allows you to conduct in-depth patient exams and interviews at your own pace. Because the exams are in-depth, these assignments will often take over an hour to complete, so it is important to plan enough time to complete your assignments each week. We will be completing Shadow Health assignments throughout the course. You are allowed to make corrections or additions to all assignments to implement the immediate feedback that Shadow Health provides you with on each assignment. Our goal is to set you up for success and improve your critical thinking and patient assessment skills.Shadow Health GradingAll assignments will be graded using the DCE Score.
