Clinical Incident
If the student’s performance is unsatisfactory on any given day, the Clinical Faculty will initiate an informal conference with the student. This informal conference will provide the student with constructive feedback to assist them in ongoing improvement in clinical practice. The conference is documented using the Student Communication form.
Should the student’s performance continue to be unsatisfactory, the clinical faculty will notify the Clinical Practice Manager who will assist in formulating a written plan explaining area of concern and behaviors necessary to correct these deficiencies. This process will be completed by mid-course whenever possible, so the student has time to improve. The clinical faculty will issue an Early Alert after communicating with the clinical coordinator to acknowledge the clinical faculty concerns and develop a written remediation plan.
If the conditions of the remediation plan are not met by the student by the last clinical day, the student’s clinical performance will be unsatisfactory on the final CET and the student will receive a failing grade. At any time if a student’s clinical performance in a clinical course indicates an inability to perform at a safe and/or professional level of practice, the clinical faculty, in consultation with the Clinical Practice Manager, will report the student to the Code of Conduct Committee. In such case, the student will be ineligible to continue in the course.
