a

Student 2 was not available to begin the full initiative until a week after Student 1, so their switch to batch precepting happened later when they had attained the same volume of calls as Student 1.

b

Batch precepting: the student would wait and precept several calls at once perhaps an hour or so after they had finished. They always had the option to call immediately if any clinical question (both students had the medical director’s mobile number and unlimited access to her).

c

Examples of very simple calls: tried three times and could not reach patient, so note documenting this was entered; patient had already scheduled a follow-up; patient had no acute needs and rescheduled a routine appointment for later in the summer.
