Varied Roles

• Facilitate student learning through clinical instruction, guidance, direct observation, and feedback

• Facilitate and/or assess the student’s use of clinical inquiry and clinical reasoning in

planning for and providing clinical care

• Assess and promote the student’s development and use of evidence-based practice

(9)

Varied Roles

• Actively engage in providing regular feedback to the Clinical Faculty about student performance

• Collaborate with Clinical Faculty or Clinical Resource in assigning learning activities across the continuum of care

• Support development of the student’s

understanding of the role,, system of care delivery, procedures, and client population
