8.1 HLTH 3055 Preparation Before the First Day of Clinical Placement

During week 5 of your HLTH 3054 Clinical Professional Practice Placement, you will review expectations for the HLTH 3055 Clinical Professional Practice Consolidation with your clinical instructor. A pre-assigned schedule of your required shifts will be provided. Please be aware that all shifts scheduled within the HLTH-3055 (Consolidation) and HLTH-3056 (Community) courses will be arranged by the agency in consultation with the clinical liaison in advance of the start of the course. Changes cannot be made to your schedule without prior approval from the agency and the PSW Program Coordinator.

Getting Ready for your Clinical Professional Practice Placement

successful clinical placements require more than just showing up – being organized and well-prepared sets the foundation for a meaningful and safe learning experience.  As a PSW student, your placement is a vital opportunity to apply classroom knowledge in real-world settings, build professional relationships, and develop your skills in providing compassionate, client-centred care.
