Clinical Responsibilities

Faculty supervising clinical instruction are expected to:

Orient students to the site, expectations, and safety protocols, framing these as part of the external stimuli students must adapt to.
Ensure clinical activities support core competencies and offer opportunities for adaptive behavior in the physiologic, role function, and interdependence modes.
Provide real-time coaching and clinical feedback, helping students process stimuli using the regulator and Roy's cognator subsystems.
Model professional behaviors that promote adaptation and ethical practice.
Conduct structured post-clinical debriefings to guide students in recognizing ineffective behaviors and developing adaptive strategies.
Evaluate student performance using consistent tools and document both adaptive and maladaptive responses.
Address unsafe or unprofessional behaviors promptly as indicators of compromised adaptation, offering opportunities for behavioral redirection.
Serve as role models of patient advocacy and collaborative care.
