Description of Unique Course Requirement
During the first ten (10) weeks of the semester, the course meets for didactic and on-campus laboratory instruction one day per week (presently on Fridays) from 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM. Upon successful completion of this ten (10) week instruction the student is assigned to a clinic site to complete the course’s clinical experience requirement. During the last five (5) weeks of the semester the student completes a minimum of 100 hours of off-campus clinical experience during daytime hours, Monday through Friday at a clinical site determined by the College. The student supplies transportation to the off-campus clinical site. In order to fulfill the off-campus clinical requirement in the specified time period, the student must be available several days each week of the five (5) weeks for approximately twenty (20) hours per week. The student returns to the campus during finals week to take the final exam. If the student works during the day or is registered for other courses during daytime hours, serious consideration should be given as to whether the clinical requirements for this course can be fulfilled in a competent, responsible, and professional manner. This consideration should be given prior to registering for the course.
