In this assignment, you will begin developing a pocket guide that you can use as a resource for your course work and your clinical practice. The goal for this pocket guide is to be something you can use as a quick reference guide for preventative services. An address book, 3×5 spiral bound index cards are a nice organizer, but for those who are tech savvy your phone is probably your go to guide. However, writing items down, by hand the old fashioned way, helps to imprint the information in our brains and improves retention, so for this course you will need to create hand-written pocket guides. Each guideline will need to have their own page/card etc. and you must be concise and neat in your efforts. These guidelines will also help you to study for your exams as many questions will center around your knowledge of health promotion and disease prevention within an office practice.
