Onboarding

Owned by Katie Bennett (Deactivated)

Process

When you are assigned a clinical rotation with a preceptor, the preceptor's site will require a set of documentation in order to "onboard" you with their agency.  To be prepared for onboarding, the School of Health Sciences collects the documents dictated by the Clinical Placements Northwest Clinical Passport from all students and faculty. 

Initial onboarding requirements are submitted through the SHS Pre-Practicum Preparations Canvas Site, which are logged by SHS Staff on Typhon for tracking purposes.  Students are required to monitor their Typhon account and submit required documents before the due date to retain access to clinical sites.  Be alert for messages and warnings which will include upcoming due dates and missing documentation.

Site-Specific Onboarding

If your site requires additional, site-specific documents or training our Clinical Placement Coordinator will notify you shortly after your placement has been confirmed.
