Here you may find fact sheets to share with your mentor at your practice learning site.)
    Whether you modify an existing intervention or develop one of your own, you must discuss why this intervention will work for your target population or why you needed to modify it to make it work for your target population. Include advantages, population fit, and barriers in use of the intervention. You should include the long-term goal, two short-term measurable objectives, and the required resources such as: time, equipment, finances, etc. related to this intervention [Note: you are not required to carry out your intervention]
