Learning situation (max 500 words)

Purpose:
At the end of the clinical session, the learner should be able to:
1- Perform a focused patient-centered history and focused physical examination for diverse patient referred to the clinical neurophysiology clinic
2- Perform upper limb nerve conduction studies in patients referred to clinical neurophysiology clinic.
3- Perform analysis ,interpret and report findings of nerve conduction study.
4- Demonstrate …show more content…

To allow learners to approximate the real experience and to lower the risk on the patient, expert provide scaffolding, which takes the form of physical aids, modeling tasks ( history taking, examination and upper limb nerve conduction studies), coaching and giving feedback .The strategy also involves the gradual withdrawal of expert from the process, when the learners can manage task (focused patient-centered history , focused physical examination, and upper limb nerve conduction studies) on their own (Le Grand Brandt, Farmer, &
