SCU clinical students may participate in clinical education in a variety of clinical settings. This Clinical Handbook and the policies within it - including the program specific clinical handbooks - are part of the University Catalog, and serve as a complement to other program-specific guidance and other university publications. 

Program specific policies apply to specific clinical students based upon their program of study. Programs may also have additional publications and guidance that also provide essential information. Students should verify these with their programs. 

Clinical settings require clinical students to adhere to university policies, site specific policies, and program specific policies. These requirements may include third-party payor requirements (which vary by site and by provider), malpractice insurer requirements, scope of training and scope of practice, and state laws governing clinical practice and clinical training. Clinical students are expected to familiarize themselves with and comply with all pertinent policies and procedures. This Clinical Handbook - and the associated program specific handbooks - is not intended to reflect all possible requirements in all possible settings in all programs. Rather, this handbook is intended as an overview of essential information for clinical students engaged in clinical education. Questions should always be directed to the Clinical Supervisor, Assistant Program Director/Clinical Director, or to the Program.
