4 Students Supports During Clinical Placement
In Professional Practice 2 (also known as consolidation), you will be assigned a facility PSW Preceptor at a Long Term Care Home (LTC), Retirement Home, Hospice, Community Care Setting or Hospital Setting. Your preceptor will be an employee of the facility you are placed at.
Your Support Team!

- Preceptor – Guides the clinical experience in the clinical setting with the student
- Clinical Supervisor – Offers support and guidance to the student and preceptor, monitors Schedule Verification Forms, and evaluations to ensure students are meeting the requirements and hours to be successful
- Clinical Faculty Lead – Mohawk faculty to support the Clinical Supervisor and student with academic success concerns

Your Clinical Supervisor…Your main point of contact!
The role of the Clinical Supervisor is to support the student and preceptor when assistance is required. They will be maintaining regular communication with the clinical preceptor and student to assess and track the student progress. The Clinical Supervisor can help students and preceptors with any questions that may arise and to help guide preceptors when student success strategies are needed. They can be contacted via their Mohawk College email.
