Dr. Humbert made a request to have an updated BCS Clerkship log similar to the EM Clerkship log.  He wanted to be able to access an html style page that would have up-to-date info on students who have logged BCS encounters.  This becomes particularly relevant during the student’s 4th year.  Students are required to have a certain number and type of BCS encounters logged before graduation.  This log would enable Dr. Humbert to track student progress in an effort to communicate with the student on necessary remediation.  Two BCS logs have been created.  The first is a ‘filtered’ log that displays all students who have logged BCS encounters, but are missing some of the minimum requirements for encounters.  The second is an ‘unfiltered’ log that displays all students who have logged encounters, whether they have met all of the minimum requirements or have some discrepancies.  Both logs are updated nighly by a system process that I’ve developed.  Each log links the student name to their individual BCS reports.  Dr. Humbert is able to quickly and efficiently manage progress of the students and access the full details of the clerkship encounters.  The logs have been running for a few weeks now and (as of yet) Dr. Humbert has not had any modifications to the logs and how they display the data.
