What are ‘clinicals’? – Clinicals are supervised work sessions in real health care settings, allowing students to work with patients. Students enrolled in a college or university health care program are able to put their classroom knowledge and skills to work. A resident is a physician serving a residency at a health care facility. Residents participate in advanced training through rotations.
Students may experience a wide variety of departments, as deemed necessary by their program. This allows interaction with various patient interventions and situations, under the supervision of their instructor and/or facility health care professional(s). Clinicals are like internships, and they are a critical and required part of patient care training.
Before being allowed to participate in clinicals, students must successfully complete training in the classroom, skills lab and laboratory. The proper paperwork must be completed, including health/vaccination requirements and a criminal background check. A confidentiality agreement must be signed by the student. Your high school careers counselor or college/university advisor or program instructors can direct you to a list of the requirements for the program(s) you are interested in pursuing.
