Choosing a Placement

Who to choose?

This process can sometimes be stressful for students, but for many it is a very exciting time. When choosing a placement, select one that meets your requirements and one that provides you with the best clinical experience. Some things to consider are:
  • Any outstanding requirements

  • Areas of interest
  • Offers available in the areas you have requirements
     


Database

  • You may only complete two placements per site and they must be different services/areas of practice.
  • You will leave Edmonton for at least one placement but most students end up completing two or more placements outside the greater Edmonton area.
