Abstract
Brief excerpt from interview: Students set up two dropboxes, one for journals and one for everything else. We have very set learning plans with measurable objectives and that kind of thing, but with this particular class, everybody has a different agenda. So, the person who wants to learn about eating disorders, I expect her to come up with her own learning objectives. We give guidelines on how to write meaningful, measurable learning objectives. Every student must have tailored learning objectives, and each of them must come up with ten...They cannot not include place in their learning objectives because they are being placed in hospitals and clinics. So if they go to Kuʻu Kalihi Valley and want to work with an under-served population, of Saipan, and Lau and Chuuk, they will possibly write as a learning objective to go into the gardens and prepare Starfruit, with a Chuukese recipe. It's so ingrained to what is expected of them. [One student is] at Kaiser Medical Center, and we know now that there is a pandemic of obesity and diabetes, and her first objective is to teach a diabetes class and have a preceptor provide positive feedback on her presentation. Another is to work with a registered dietitian specializing in eating disorders.
