Ambulatory Rotation Pre/Post Tests - New for 2007-2008

Pre/post-tests are being developed for residents to complete at the beginning and end of the ambulatory and elective rotations.

Rotations marked below with an asterisk (*) have a test available now in NetLearning. Tests for other rotations will be added as they are developed throughout the year.

Click to access NetLearning. After log-in, look under "CBLs to Do" for the appropriate rotation course title:  "Medicine Residency Rotation - (Name of Rotation)".

Residents are to give a printed copy of their NetLearning transcript showing completion of the pre- and post-tests to their attending supervisor for the rotation, at the end of the rotation.

Please contact Dr. Andy Wolf with questions or comments.
