6.00 Credits
A final full-time clinical practice experience during the last summer term. Students may use this practicum as an opportunity to integrate their experience from the previous two years or to select a specialty area in which to do their rotations. Practicums may take place at any site in which the students are under the supervision of a physician or registered technologist. New outside clinical affiliates are strongly suggested. The student is responsible (under the guidance of the clinical coordinator) for the arrangement of these experiences. The department anticipates that these practicums may culminate in employment for the student.
