This will be followed by practical exercises, where you will be receiving information regarding the requirements and acceptable practices.

Although you will have received training in these areas during your course work they will be reinforced during clinical practicum.

All students are required to wear professional attire when practicing in clinic, including enclosed footwear for safety reasons. Comfortable black pants and high-cut shirt with short sleeves are recommended.

Is it ok to feel this nervous?
Yes, it is normal. All students will feel a little anxious; it is understandable to feel apprehensive when doing something for the first time. Remember that the clinic staff, other students & supervisors are all there to help support you and please feel free to ask lots of questions!
Do I need to be there early?
Yes, clinic commences 30 mins prior to the scheduled starting time. So for an 8am clinic you need to be ready to start at 7.30am, this also ensures you arrive before your clients.
Note that you will also be required to stay back at the end of the day for approximately another 30 minutes.
Do I have to attend clinic orientation?
