Orientation and Safety

The person designated as Clinical Training Preceptor/ Supervisor at the clinical training affiliate is responsible for orientation of the student to the facility's policies. Students may be expected to attend the new employee orientation held at the clinical site.

Each clinical training facility should orient the student to their safety procedures. This orientation should include:

  • Fire, Chemical, and Biohazard safety procedures
  • Location of safety equipment
  • Personal health and hygiene

Students are required to adhere to all safety regulations and procedures. Failures to do so are grounds for dismissal from the clinical placement and/or NWHSU, based on the discretion of the Departmental Committee and/or Behavioral Standards Committee.
