PRAC Course Outcome(s) Addressed: Develop knowledge in selecting and implementing appropriate screening instrument(s), interpreting results, and making recommendations and referrals.

Objective 3: <I need to improve my knowledge of using screening tools results to develop care plans for patients of all ages by the end of the practicum.> After gaining knowledge on how to use screening tools when diagnosing my patients, I need to develop knowledge in using the results from the instruments to develop care plans for patients.

Planned Activities: One of the activities I plan to do to achieve this objective is to learn more about mental health disorders through the DSM-5 manual. The manual has highlighted the signs and symptoms of almost all mental health problems. If I know the signs and symptoms of mental health disorders, I will easily identify mental health problems from the screening tool results and develop a proper care plan.

Mode of Assessment: This objective will be assessed through class discussion and assignments and by my supervisor.

PRAC Course Outcome(s) Addressed:

• Develop knowledge in selecting and implementing appropriate screening instrument(s), interpreting results, and making recommendations and referrals.

Part 3: Projected Timeline/Schedule

Estimate how many hours you expect to work on your Practicum each week. *Note: All of your hours and activities must be supervised by your Preceptor and completed onsite. Your Preceptor will approve all hours, but your activities will be approved by both your Preceptor and Instructor. Any changes to this plan must be approved.

This timeline is intended as a planning tool; your actual schedule may differ from the projections you are making now.

I intend to complete the 144 or 160 Practicum hours (as applicable) according to the following timeline/schedule. I also understand that I must see at least 80 patients during my practicum experience. I understand that I may not complete my practicum hours sooner than 8 weeks. I understand I may not be in the practicum setting longer than 8 hours per day unless pre-approved by my faculty.
