Will anyone from Mohawk College be visiting me on placement?

There is ongoing communication maintained with all students throughout the term by the Clinical Supervisors and Preceptors via email, telephone and online collaboration platforms. However, full-time students may also be visited at placement by the Field Placement Specialist (FPS). Not all students will have an on-site facility visit, and this will be communicated to the student and the facility placement. At any time, should the facility preceptor and or the student require a meeting with the FPS at the facility site, one will be arranged.

The goal of the on-site visit is to discuss with the student and the facility preceptor the PSW student’s progress to date. Strengths and areas of improvement will be discussed. It is an opportunity for the student to share feedback and to articulate their skill set based on application, and to discuss the new skills they are acquiring. There will be no direct observation of the PSW Student on placement from the FPS. We rely on the ratings and feedback regarding on-field performance that is shared in the student’s evaluations.
