This course prepares students for the transition to practice in a health care setting. In this 4 week clinical placement, students will be placed in long-term care settings. Under the guidance of an RCW preceptor, students will focus on consolidating program skills while providing person-centred care. Students will progress from active participation to independent practice by continuing to develop confidence and competence in the following areas: therapeutic communication, professional behavior, personal care interventions, observations, reporting and recording, time management and organization, the promotion and maintenance of a safe work environment, and participation as an inter-disciplinary team member.
