Starting a new clinical experience can feel overwhelming, but don't worry. We've all been there.
Your first day is focused on orientation and getting comfortable in the clinic. You'll meet your Clinical Instructor and team, tour the clinic, set up your system access, and begin learning the clinic workflow.
We don't expect you to treat patients independently on Day 1. Bring your questions, communicate your goals, and focus on getting settled into your new environment.
Yes. Our Clinical Instructors receive training on student development, coaching, and feedback. Students can expect regular communication, opportunities for reflection, and support throughout their clinical experience.
We accept the background check, immunization, and compliance requirements completed through your academic program.
Once we receive your introduction letter, you'll receive an onboarding link to register with CORA. After your LMS account is created, you'll complete a few onboarding modules to meet company compliance requirements.
The Student Foundation Curriculum is a collection of educational resources designed to support your learning throughout your rotation. Topics include anatomy, pathology, clinical practice guidelines, protocols, and labs that you can work through with your Clinical Instructor.
