Health Education Assignment

Each student is required to plan, prepare, present, and evaluate an educational project for a specific client or population group during his/her clinical experience. Prior to conducting the teaching project, a detailed assessment of the learner and the environment, teaching method plan, and evaluation method plan is required and must be approved by your clinical faculty. Additional detailed documentation of the teaching project experience is to be included in a formal paper.
