Preparation for clinical experiences begins in the first course and continues throughout the program. It is each student's responsibility to familiarize themselves with the process of identifying a preceptor, securing a clinical site, and completing an affiliation agreement. It is important you are aware of your roles, responsibilities, and the timeline of completing the various tasks for which you are responsible. Your clinical compliance team, academic advisor, concentration coordinator, and faculty are available to assist throughout your journey.
