Clinical Experience

You've learned a lot but want to learn more.
Now's your chance. Have a clinical experience!

Students in the Health Occupations, Health Related Technologies and Occupational Child Development programs have opportunities to reap the rewards of a clinical experience. If you are selected for "clinical," you will be assigned to a work site where you can get involved in the day-to-day activities of that location. Examples of clinical sites include area hospitals, retirement communities, nursing homes, and day care centers. A clinical experience at one of these local facilities will provide valuable on-the-job training and give you a wonderful opportunity to 'test the waters" of the career field you're considering.

Students are selected for clinical experiences based on competencies that can be learned at the work site. To be eligible for clinical, students must meet standards of appropriate attitude and citizenship, adherence to school policies, proof of immunizations and legal documentation, and appropriate grades. Instructors match students with work sites and assign specific competencies to make the most of the learning experience.
