Experience with clients may be individual or group-based sessions. During clinical placements, there will be opportunities for participation in additional learning activities such as quality improvement projects and interprofessional learning tasks. Clinical Practicum F is a five-week placement which require full-time attendance (approximately 40 hours per week).
