How to talk to your Clinical Instructor

1) Ask only one question at a time. Listen for the complete answer before jumping to the next.

2) Try not to preface your question too much with things like “I always thought that…” Get to the point.

3) Wait to ask a question when the individual really is able to answer it. Consider timing.

4) Speak up! Make eye contact. Stay in one place.

By the way, there’s so much knowledge and experience that doctors and nurses have. I continue to ask them questions myself. Hope you do too. Good Luck, Tim.
