Trajectory = Suggested timeline of TC learning opportunities
Trajectories are timelines for different kinds of opportunties that mentors might provide or encourage for TCs. We group these opportunties into 5 different time segments, from the start of the clinical experience to the end. We also have trajectories that show how one type of opportuntity, like learning to plan, might change over the course of several months. See the quick links below, and also check out the “quick look” timeline displayed below.
