I did meet with Stephanie to address some clinical attendance issues.  Stephanie has been absent 3 days during this rotation and she did also arrive tardy one day.
Stephanie had an unavoidable serious illness that required hospitalization and therefore caused the excessive absenteeism.  She will not receive a clinical deficiency for this however we did discuss the need to be cautious about further absences in order to avoid any further attendance concerns in next levels of program.  She also was counseled regarding the tardy episode - she did arrive approximately 10 minutes late, however this was her first tardy occurrence and she was both well-prepared and knowledgeable about her assigned patient.
