Rough draft.This research track is under review with Dr. Atit's lab. Content and sequence may still change.
Here's an example of what's due today
Who Does What, and When: Mateo's Care Timeline
Anatomical domain · Lesson 19 of 20 · Human Body Systems (HBS)
Today's goal: Build a staged, age-ordered multidisciplinary care timeline for a child with complete unilateral CL/P, naming who acts, when, and why each step is timed to growth and development.

What a finished product looks like
This is a model of the work you should turn in. Use it to check your own: match the structure and the level of detail, do not copy it. Your wording should be your own.
Mateo's age-ordered care timeline
Completes: A staged, age-ordered timeline naming each specialist and the growth or surveillance reason for the timing.
- First weeks: Nasoalveolar molding, orthodontist and feeding team, to narrow the gap and shape the nose before surgery.
- About 3 to 6 months: Lip repair, craniofacial surgeon, the standard primary window.
- About 10 to 14 months: Palate repair, craniofacial surgeon, because delay worsens speech.
- Around palate repair and ongoing: Ear tubes and hearing checks, ENT and audiologist (SURVEILLANCE), because fluid is mostly acquired after birth.
- Preschool to school age: Speech assessment and possible VPI surgery, speech-language pathologist (SURVEILLANCE), because VPI shows once he talks.
- Mixed dentition, before age 9: Alveolar bone graft, oral surgeon and orthodontist, so the graft takes and the canine has bone to erupt into.
- Teen years (skeletal maturity): Definitive nose repair and, if needed, orthognathic surgery, craniofacial surgeon and orthodontist, after the face stops growing.

How this was built, step by step
The finished product above did not appear all at once. Here is the path from the question to the turned-in work, so you can follow the same steps.
- 1Start from today's question: When does each specialist act for a child like Mateo, and why is each step timed to a specific age?
- 2Work the Model and the Explore questions to reason it out before writing anything.
- 3Pull the specific evidence the product needs from the reading and any database you used.
- 4Write it up in the required format: As the coordinator, put the eight care steps into a single age-ordered timeline for Mateo, from birth to the late teens. Next to each step write the leading specialist and one phrase saying why it sits there (for example, "before age 9 so the graft takes" or "after the face stops growing"). Mark the two steps that are surveillance, not one-time operations.
- 5Check it against the rubric, then submit.
How this is graded (rubric)
For: As the coordinator, put the eight care steps into a single age-ordered timeline for Mateo, from birth to the late teens. Next to each step write the leading specialist and one phrase saying why it sits there (for example, "before age 9 so the graft takes" or "after the face stops growing"). Mark the two steps that are surveillance, not one-time operations.
| Criterion | Proficient | Developing | Beginning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Complete | Every required part of the artifact is present and filled in. | Most parts are present, but one is missing or left blank. | Several parts are missing. |
| Accurate | The science and data are correct and match the evidence. | Mostly correct, with a small factual slip. | Key science or data is wrong. |
| Scientific reasoning (CER) | States a claim, backs it with specific evidence, and explains the reasoning. | Has a claim and evidence, but the reasoning is thin or missing. | Gives an answer with no evidence or reasoning. |
| Professional communication | Clear, organized, and labeled the way a clinician or scientist would write it. | Readable but disorganized or missing labels. | Hard to follow. |
| Submitted | Turned in the right way (Schoology for routine work) and confirmed. | Turned in, but in the wrong place or unconfirmed. | Not turned in. |
How the model answer scores against this rubric
- CompleteProficient: Nothing is left blank: the model fills every part of "As the coordinator, put the eight care steps into a single age-ordered timeline for Mateo, from birth to the late teens. Next to each step write the leading specialist and one phrase saying why it sits there (for example, "before age 9 so the graft takes" or "after the face stops growing"). Mark the two steps that are surveillance, not one-time operations.".
- AccurateProficient: Every number and claim matches the case evidence.
- Scientific reasoning (CER)Proficient: It names a claim, cites the specific evidence, and explains the reasoning, not just the answer.
- Professional communicationProficient: It is organized and labeled like a real chart note.
- SubmittedProficient: It would be turned in on Schoology and confirmed.

WebXam problem for today's skill
One exam-style question that uses exactly what you practiced today. Try it before you reveal the answer, then read why each choice is right or wrong.
WebXam-style domain: Structure and Function (HBS, head and neck)Self-check skill: Applying the rule of growth to order cleft care steps by age
The lip and palate are repaired in the first year of life, but the alveolar bone graft waits until the mixed dentition (before age 9). Using the rule of growth, why is the graft timed differently from the lip and palate?
