Clinical Schedule Details

• Clinicals are essential and there are specific requirements:

  • Total of 96 clinical hours needed this semester, increasing to 92 hours next semester.

  • Last two semesters require 200+ clinical hours.

  • New clinical schedules not available until June due to the newness of the program.

Cultural and Communication Concerns

• There is a concern about providing proper coverage in the workspace, especially when the student will only be present once per week, which raises issues about the workload being left on colleagues (Jess).

• Discussion about needing to ensure that responsibilities are managed to prevent burnout, especially with changes in the clinical schedule and covering for each other.

Future Planning

• Student will continue to adjust schedules as needed and communicate effectively about absence and workload.

• Adjustment of clinical hours and ensuring dependencies in scheduling need to be understood well in advance to minimize stress and disorganization.

• Having re-evaluated the situation early enough is appreciated to prevent chaos, such as finding out at the last moment on the 17th.

Personal Management and Work hours

• Previous scheduling indicated a flexibility of hours worked, suggested to log hours to track PTO utilization.

• Determined working towards total of 24 hours typically per week with additional hours needing to be compensated through the week and weekend.

• Open communication is essential for successful adaptations in drafting schedules for both educational and work commitments.
