Learning Objectives
By the end of this chapter, PSW students will:
- Develop effective organization and preparation strategies for clinical placement.
- Review the necessary documentation and pre-placement requirements.
- Complete the Clinical Professional Practice Pre-Placement requirements before attending clinical placement in long-term care and community settings.
Preparing for clinical placement is critical in bridging the gap between classroom learning and being ready for healthcare practice. This chapter will guide students through pre-placement to ensure they are prepared to enter the clinical setting by Level 2 of the PSW program.
Students will also review essential organization and preparation strategies to prepare them for success in their clinical environments, including long-term care and community settings. Learners will review key documentation and requirements, including policies, procedures, and expectations set by both Fanshawe College and clinical partners.
