LINCC Documents
Learning in classroom and the clinic (LINCC) documents are useful companions designed to ensure consistency in learning and application of clinical knowledge and skills. To best meet a patient’s needs, variation from LINCC documents may be appropriate based on more current information, clinical judgment of the practitioner, and/or patient preference.
