I got my first dose of preparing for a patient visit with a couple hours of work and nobody showed up. It is frustrating to have this happen after so much work has been done but the fact is, students are busy and they cannot be expected to remember everything. My solution is to call the day before to remind them of their appointment.
When I was working as a personal trainer a few years ago, I had no shows all the time. It is just a part of patient care. Things come up unexpectedly, schedules get crossed, the list goes on and on. In the meantime, I was able to finish a write up on a patient and submit it to my attending clinician for review. No time was lost.
So far, this has been quite the adaptation process. I am sure it will get even better the further I head into it.
All for now
