Clinical Case Requirements
Clinical Case Requirements for the students will meet the minimum levels. This includes 80 cases first scrubbed (assisted or solo). At least 25 of these should be solo. Of the assisted cases out of these 80, 10 should be Level 1 core cases. Five should be Level 1 specialty cases. The rest of the assisted cases should be distributed across core and specialty areas. Of the 25 solo cases, 10 should be Level 1 core cases. Procedures that are observed or scrubbed in a role where less than 70 percent of the 10 points of performance are documented DO NOT count toward meeting the clinical case requirements. This also includes assistant circulating duties.
