Clinical Competencies
Clinical Competencies
The section below outlines the competencies students are expected to achieve at the end of each course in order to be prepared for the next clinical experience. Please take these into consideration as you provide supervision each week and complete evaluations; we value your perspective on the student's readiness to move forward to the next clinical course.
Contact your student's faculty supervisor if you are unclear on these expectations, need to calibrate your understanding of these baselines, or need suggestions on how to help your student.
