Whether we are asking students about symptoms of illness or gathering details about how an injury occurred, the podium allows us to stay organized and maintain a clear line of communication with each student. It also helps ensure that sensitive information is recorded efficiently and accurately.\r\n\r\nHaving a stable space to take notes, complete documentation, and safely store our devices has made our daily workflow smoother and more professional.
