Students are expected to progress from direct supervsion to more independent practice in the defined skills as they complete each rotation assigned. Successful completion of both clinical semesters will be required in order to attain all the competenices to the required level of proficiency. Each student may progress through the competencies in a different order based on their clinical placements and assignments during the clinical year.
