College of St. Scholastica

What you'll study

The program combines classroom instruction with experiential clinical learning. Core educational features described by the school include:

• On-campus clinical experience and hands-on learning in the maurices Community Clinic.
• Level I and Level II fieldwork placements to build clinical decision-making and real-client experience.
• Courses that promote integration of evidence into practice, professional development and interprofessional collaboration.
• Hybrid delivery for select didactic courses between the Level II fieldworks: seven weeks of synchronous/asynchronous online content plus a one-week in-person intensive focused on skill refinement and clinical reasoning in specialty areas.
