Applied Clinical Skills II is a required 4-credit course taught in the second (clinical) year of the program. The course occurs during the winter term, which is approximately midway through the clinical phase of the program. The course continues the theme of professional aspects of clinical practice by instructing students about healthcare delivery systems, policy issues that affect practice, quality improvement, laws and regulations regarding professional practice, licensure and certification, creating a professional curriculum vitae and applying for jobs, to name a few. Students participate in additional hands-on/skills-based activities to supplement and reinforce the skills taught on their clinical rotations.
