Probation

If a student is not performing appropriately or satisfactorily during Clinical Training, this should be reflected in the Weekly Internship Record.  If a problem occurs, the Site Supervisor or the student will communicate with the NWHSU Clinical Coordinator by phone as soon as possible.  

The NWHSU Clinical Coordinator or University representative will investigate and take appropriate action.  This action may be in the form of counseling by the student via telephone, visiting the Clinical Training site to counsel the student, formal probation, or dismissal from NWHSU.

The student will be notified in writing regarding probation and the improvements required.  This written notification must be signed by the NWHSU representative and the student.  The length of the probation must be presented in writing.

Probation during Clinical Training is a very serious matter.  At the end of the agreed probationary period, the student must have made satisfactory improvement in the areas outlined by the probation notice.  If this has not occurred, termination will be immediate.
