PSW Practice 2

This clinical practicum is designed for personal support worker students and provides the opportunity to apply acquired knowledge and skills when assisting residents within a long-term care facility and when caring for people across the lifespan in a variety of settings within the community. Students will learn to recognize emotional and physical changes of aging and illness, common diseases/disorders and restorative techniques to maximize optimal function and resident independence. Working as part of the interdisciplinary health-care team, the development of time management and organizational skills are integral to this practicum.
