Early Clinical Experience (ECE) is a full-time (37+hours/week), four week clinical experiences scheduled after the first didactic year in any type of clinical setting; inpatient or out-patient. Students are expected to apply knowledge and skills learned from their coursework to treat patients with Clinical Instructor supervision and assistance. Though students are not expected to demonstrate mastery of clinical skills or reasoning, they are expected to acclimate to the clinical culture and pursue opportunities for direct interaction and practice with patients and their families, health-care providers, and personnel.
