Patient Care Incident Reports
Should any patient care incident occur involving a student, the clinical coordinator or program director must be notified immediately. The standard risk management report must be made and submitted to the clinical coordinator or program director immediately for review. Reports must be made in accordance with the policies of the clinical or field site.
If the incident would normally lead to employee termination, it is possible that the clinical or field site would request that the student involved not return to that facility if possible and only if deemed appropriate. Being barred from a clinical or field site for patient safety issues or poor work ethics or being barred from a second clinical or field site for any reason could result in dismissal from the program.
