Clinical Practicum
Clinical practicum experiences will be selected according to the desired option to develop practical skills in that area of interest. The number of hours needed by students may vary depending on previous undergraduate experiences. All students are required to complete two on-campus and two off-campus clinical practicum rotations.
Clinical Practicum experiences are scheduled in sites that are approved by the department. Students are responsible for meeting the health and criminal record clearances established by their practicum sites. In addition, students are responsible for transportation to off-campus clinical practicum sites and other community learning experiences and must purchase personal liability insurance. Practicum sites may require proof of immunization such as poliomyelitis, rubella, and hepatitis; a physical examination, including a tuberculin test, as well as health insurance.
