F. Clearance for Participation in Clinical Practice

It is

essential that allied health students be able to perform a number of physical activities in the clinical

portion of their programs. At a minimum, students will be required to lift patients and/or equipment,

stand for several hours at a time, and perform bending activities. Students who have a chronic illness or

condition must be maintained on current treatment and be able to implement their assigned

responsibilities. The clinical allied health experience also places students under considerable mental and

emotional stress as they undertake responsibilities and duties impacting patients' lives. Students must be

able to demonstrate rational and appropriate behavior under stressful conditions.
