PC1235 - Clinical Preceptorship

This clinical course provides students with opportunities to further develop and integrate knowledge and skills acquired in courses. For this clinical experience, long-term care agencies will be utilized. In this course each student is assigned to an experienced Personal Care Attendant (PCA). With the guidance and direction of the preceptor, students will participate in the day-to-day routine of the practice setting and become more familiar with the contributions of the PCA to the health care team. This course is designed to help increase student confidence and competence, and to help students further develop their leadership skills. Students will be evaluated based upon clinical observations and interactions, formal evaluation from the preceptor, student/instructor interactions, clinical preceptorship assignment, agency personnel feedback and the Clinical Practice Evaluation Form (CPEF) for Preceptorship that is completed by the clinical instructor. Prerequisites must be met prior to going to the clinical setting. Students will work the same full shifts as their assigned preceptor (days/evenings/nights, 8h and 12 h shifts, and weekends).
