You will complete a 60 hour clinical practice education experience that integrates the knowledge from both the theory courses and the lab course (HLTH 165). Your clinical practice education experiences will be scheduled in an agency chosen by you in conjunction with the faculty of the Basic Diabetes Education for Health Care Providers program. You will be guided and directed by an experienced agency staff member who will also evaluate your competence. You will be expected to demonstrate responsibility and accountability for your own learning. You will be in an unpaid student role and require time off work to complete the clinical component.
