# Clinical Logs

The Clinical Logs page is your student list of clinical experience logs—drafts, submissions, and review outcomes in one place.

## Overview

Students open **Clinical Logs** from the sidebar (`/clinical-logs`). From here you filter and sort logs, open details, edit drafts, submit for review, and resubmit after a rejection.

For how to fill out the log form itself (encounters, skills, times, AI scribe, and more), see **Add-Clinical-Logs**.

Educators review submitted logs under **Review Logs**—that queue is separate from this student list.

## Statuses

| Status | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| **Draft** | Saved but not submitted; you can edit or delete |
| **Pending** | Submitted and waiting for preceptor/faculty review |
| **Approved** | Accepted; hours and content count as approved |
| **Rejected** | Returned with feedback; edit and resubmit |
| **Resubmitted** | Sent back for review after you addressed a rejection |

Filter the list by status or classroom when you have many logs. An hours progress summary helps you see approved hours against classroom requirements.

## Create and save drafts

1. Click **Add Clinical Log** (opens the form at `/add-clinical-log`).
2. Complete required fields and at least one patient encounter.
3. **Save as Draft** anytime, or **Submit Log** when ready for review.

Drafts stay editable from the list. Only drafts can be deleted from list actions. You can also duplicate an existing log to start a new draft from prior content.

## Open, edit, and submit

- Click a row to open the log detail / review sheet.
- **Edit** is available for drafts and pending logs from list actions when you need changes before or during review.
- Submit a draft from the form or from list actions when it is complete.

Once approved, you generally cannot edit the log—contact your preceptor or program if something needs correction.

## Resubmit after rejection

1. Open the rejected log and read the feedback.
2. Choose **Edit and resubmit** (the form submits as **Resubmit Log**).
3. Address the feedback, then submit again.

The log moves to **Resubmitted** and re-enters the educator review queue. Keep a short note of what you changed if your program expects it.

## Tips

1. Filter by classroom during busy terms so the list stays manageable.
2. Save drafts after each clinical day; submit when documentation is complete.
3. After a rejection, fix every noted item before resubmitting to avoid another return.
4. Watch approved hours progress so you are not short near the end of a rotation.

## Troubleshooting

**Clinical Logs missing from the sidebar**  
This list is for students. Educators use **Review Logs**. Vision-only institutions may not include clinical logs.

**Cannot delete a log**  
Only **Draft** logs can be deleted from the list. Contact your instructor about other statuses.

**Cannot edit an approved log**  
Approved logs are locked. Ask your preceptor or administrator how your program handles corrections.

**Resubmit not available**  
Open the rejected log’s detail view and use **Edit and resubmit**. If feedback is unclear, ask your reviewer before changing content.
