CLM 402 - PRACTICUM II: INTERMEDIATE

College of Health Sciences

Credit(s): 3

This practicum is the second in a three-course sequence. This advanced level practicum builds on the foundation practicum and provides students with the opportunity to further develop the knowledge and skills essential for effective, collaborative clinical leadership, to manage complex processes, resolve multi-faceted problems, build teams and productive work environments, and promote organizational health, growth, and quality of services. The advanced clinical leadership and management practicum focuses on the 1) application of theory, knowledge, and skills essential for effective and collaborative leadership in health care, and 2) the integration of CLM student learning outcomes and foundational learning dimensions addressed in CLM 401 through applied experiences and seminar/course assignment activities. Students will apply for the practicum course and work with faculty and the practicum coordinator to secure a clinical leadership and management focused placement in a healthcare setting that is appropriate for the course and student learning goals. Students develop a site-specific individualized learning plan and class seminars assist students with integrating their workplace experiences with foundational coursework as a cohort. CLM 402 and CLM 403 offer concentrated professional practicum immersion experiences. Simultaneous enrollment in courses other than the Capstone course is discouraged. Employment is also discouraged so that students may fully engage in the professional practicum experience. Students will be required to attend a mandatory Orientation session prior to participating in CLM 402 and CLM 403. The schedule for Orientation will be available on the first day of the semester. Preceptors may also request to meet with and/or interview potential student interns prior to acceptance at the site.
