• Simulation Week Participation Policy

  As part of your course, a simulation is designed to mirror real-world clinical expectations. Your full participation is essential to ensure a safe, respectful, and effective learning environment.

  Mandatory Introduction Section

  At the start of each simulation, the Simulation Specialist will conduct an introduction that includes:

  • An overview of the simulation mannequin
  • Safety protocols
  • Expectations for professional conduct and participation

  This introduction is mandatory. If you miss this section due to lateness, you will not be allowed to participate in the simulation. Students cannot be rescheduled into another time slot and will be asked to leave.

  This policy reflects the standards of punctuality and professionalism expected in clinical practice. Please plan accordingly to ensure you are punctual, present and prepared.

• Punctuality is essential during Skills Check Days to ensure fairness and consistency for all students.
  

  Late Arrival Policy

  • If you arrive after the scheduled start time, you will not be granted any additional time to complete your skills check.
  • The session will end at the originally scheduled time, regardless of your arrival time.

  What This Means for You

  • Late arrival may significantly impact your ability to complete the assessment.
  • Please plan to arrive early to allow time for check-in and preparation.

  This policy ensures that all students are assessed under equal conditions and reflects professional expectations in clinical practice.
