CLINICAL COMPETENCIES<br />
During clinical training at the Bastyr Center for Natural Health, naturopathic medicine students are<br />
required to demonstrate <strong>com</strong>petence in numerous clinical skills. Those skills begin with the secondary<br />
skills and advance to the primary skills, each building upon the next. Skill <strong>com</strong>petence is tracked on the<br />
following sheets. These requirements are not linked to the clinic shift grades. They are a separate<br />
requirement, and a signed <strong>com</strong>petency does not assure a grade of AC on any clinic shift.<br />
Patient care, counseling, homeopathy, and physical medicine all have specific forms to help document<br />
that skill development. Supervising faculty will evaluate and confirm your <strong>com</strong>petence on a quarterly<br />
basis. Each quarter the sheet is signed by your supervising physician. Keep a copy for yourself and turn<br />
the original in to the clinic registration staff to prove <strong>com</strong>pletion of the <strong>com</strong>petencies. Following you will<br />
find the clinical <strong>com</strong>petencies for secondary clinicians and primary clinicians and the timelines we<br />
suggest you follow in order to <strong>com</strong>plete them in time for graduation.<br />
All secondary <strong>com</strong>petencies must be signed before a clinician may advance to primary status.<br />
All primary <strong>com</strong>petencies must be signed before a primary may graduate.<br />
Tracking Clinical Competencies<br />
Each quarter you receive an updates from the registrars office that notes <strong>com</strong>petencies you have<br />
<strong>com</strong>pleted. Check that each quarter to ensure that you are being credited appropriately.<br />
