EHR Introduction

SIU clinics are transitioning from paper charts to an electronic health record (EHR). The medical school curriculum incorporates a graduated approach to electronic documentation for students throughout Years 2, 3 and 4. Year 2 students are given ‘view only’ access to electronic medical records within SIU clinics.  In addition, Year 2 students begin using the EHR to document portions of their encounters with standardized patients within the professional development lab. During Years 3 and 4, students document patient visits in the EHR, utilizing student-specific encounter forms.

Below are resources regarding medical student EHR documentation:
