Students also consult with their faculty advisor during orientation. Faculty determine clinical site needs for courses. Course coordinators and the faculty advisor are responsible for faculty contributions to the process. Students discuss applications for clinical site placement with the Course Coordinator and faculty advisor. Both the Course Coordinator and the faculty advisor will help students learn how clinical site placements fit into course requirements.
Students prepare applications.
In the event that the Course Coordinator and the faculty advisor are one and the same person, only one signature is necessary. If the application is not returned, the faculty and CSPC will make an appropriate assignment. The CSPC will review applications and consult with faculty if further clarification is necessary. CSPC issues clinical agreements and support documents, if any, with consideration of all placement needs. Agreements typically take 6-8 weeks for execution but may take several months or more than a year to negotiate.
