Clinical Practicum 1

Catalog description

This course provides a 60-hour supervised clinical experience for each student enrolled. It immediately follows the completion of REST 460, in which all of the general patient-care skills were presented, practiced in simulation, observed in patient care and practiced on patients. The expectation is that each student will progress to mastery in the assigned general patient-care clinical skills. The former 40 hours will be devoted to supervised practice, and the latter 20 hours will consist of further practice, with a focus on skill assessment through direct observation by a regular faculty member. Prereq: REST 460.
