Hi BHS Students,
I'm happy to announce the next Information Session for the School's Practicum (HLST 4990 9.0) taking place on April 4, 2023, from 5:30 - 7:30pm via Zoom (the zoom link follows at the end of this email).
All are welcome! Some of you will be at the point in your studies where you will apply, others it's an opportunity to learn about the practicum for your fourth year and plan your future studies accordingly.
Copied here is the course description:
Designed to bridge theory and practice in a variety of health care settings, the practicum is a planned, supervised and evaluated practice-based experience in which students are mentored and supported by fieldwork-supervisors. To support students' development of professionalism skills within work integrated learning, students are required to attend pre-practicum workshops and in-class pre-placement sessions. The practicum course will require 15-20 in-class hours and 250-300 in-field hours. Students will prepare a learning contract, complete a field-based project deliverable, participate in continuous reflective-related exercises and prepare a final practicum poster presentation. The practicum is open to students in BHS specialized honours program. Prerequisites: HH/HLST 4000 3.00, and HH/HLST 4010 3.00 Pre/Corequisites: HH/HLST 4200 6.00 Open to: Students in the BHS Specialized Honours program with 84 earned credits Note 1: A minimum GPA of 7.0 is required in major credits. Note 2: Enrollment is by permission only. Students with the required earned credits are invited to an Information Session in the Winter term prior to placement. Students submit an application, are interviewed and those selected are notified of acceptance by end of Winter term. Note 3: Students are required to complete all pre-practicum risk management and screening requirements before the Winter term of practicum. Note 4: Students are required to attend all in-class pre-practicum sessions and post-practicum sessions and commit to a minimum of 3 days a week in fieldwork placements based on negotiated workdays with the field supervisor, completing a minimum of 250-300 in-field work hours.
There is an earned credit and GPA requirement. You can obtain this information from your Degree Progress Report and I'm attaching a step-by-step guide that helps you calculate your major credit GPA and understand how to calculate the grades you would need to achieve a GPA in future credits to qualify for the practicum.
Please bring your questions to the session. We have a short presentation followed by a Q&A.
I look forward to seeing you then!
Ellen
