Clinical Education

Clinical Practica & Clinical Education Courses

Successful completion of all clinical components of the program is mandatory. Clinical Practica and clinical education courses are required courses in the program of study and it is not possible to exercise the diploma exit option or receive a BHSc degree without successfully completing these courses. In addition, each of the clinical experiences is a prerequisite for further progress in the Program.

A clinical practicum course is graded on a Pass/Fail basis and course outlines provide specific information about the criteria for successful completion and opportunities for remediation. For further information, contact your professor or the Clinical Coordinator in the School of Health Sciences.

Attendance

Attendance during clinical practicum is compulsory. Students absent from scheduled clinical learning experiences for any reason will be required to make up missed time within the two (2) weeks immediately following the regularly scheduled practicum, based on site availability. Students may be required to complete this time at a different site than the clinical placement. Students unable to complete attendance requirements will not receive a passing grade.

Attendance at clinical education courses is also compulsory. Students who miss clinical time may be required to make up this time in order to meet the specific objectives. This will only be possible if opportunities exist in the regularly scheduled clinical arrangements. Otherwise students may not pass or complete the clinical education course.

Preclinical Requirements

There are several immunization and other occupational health requirements that students must submit before participating in clinical learning experiences including practicums, courses and labs.

Please visit the Faculty of Health website for more information on current forms and requirements. Students can also access more information on the applicable online community Brightspace page or in the Student Handbook.
