The Graduate Program Residency
The graduate residency is the experiential
portion of the curriculum where students are able to relate classroom
theory to a practice environment. This course is provided
in the last semester of study. Students spend a minimum
of 40 hours per week in the host facility with a preceptor.
They also complete an additional course and attend an integrative
case seminar.
Past residency sites included:
The graduate residency is an exciting opportunity for students
to apply course knowledge and gain experience in a healthcare
setting. The residency is taken
in the second year of the student's enrollment. Every
attempt is made to place the student in a healthcare setting
of their choice in concert with course requirements. Placement
is a partnership between the student and the faculty who manage
the courses. Students are encouraged to think about career
options prior to placement as many of the experiences have led
to substantive skill development and employment post completion
of the program. Students can be placed at many different
levels within organizations depending upon their previous experiences
and the availability of preceptors. The residency is uncompensated
and may not be experienced in a student's work setting.
