Overview
Through the New Brunswick Clinical Education Program, students enrolled in the “out-of-province” programs of Audiology, Occupational Therapy, Pharmacy Physiotherapy and Speech Language Pathology can return to New Brunswick to complete their student clinical placements in New Brunswick’s health care settings.
There is a Clinical Education Agreement, which is administered through this Department which highlights roles and responsibilities of all interested parties.
Eligibility
Although all students admitted in these programs of study are eligible, New Brunswick residents are given first priority over placement offers received by the two Regional Health Authorities.
Description
Students admitted to these programs of study in Audiology, Occupational Therapy, Pharmacy, Physiotherapy and Speech Language Pathology are required to complete several student clinical placements in health care settings in order to complete their program.
