The goal of the
Clinical Support Project is to provide clinical support personnel
to work with students of color who are experiencing difficulty
with clinical course work and are in need of more individualized
instruction for theory integration and application to clinical
practice. The clinical support project is funded by the State
of Michigan, Department of Education, Office of Equity Select
Student Support Services (4-S) Program.
Clinical support personnel are selected based upon the individual
needs of the student and can range from a peer who might assist
the student in learning a task in the simulation lab to a baccalaureate
or Masters prepared registered nurse with extensive, current experience
in clinical practice who would provide one-on-one opportunities
at a clinical site. Financial compensation of all clinical support
personnel is provided through the 4-S grant and is commensurate
with education and experience.
This support is available for students who have received an early
or mid-term warning from their clinical instructor and are subsequently
referred to the project by the course coordinator, clinical faculty,
or the student.
Faculty should complete the Clinical
Support Project Referral Form when requesting this service
for students and notify the student that a referral is being made.
The Multicultural Affairs will coordinate the clinical
support. The student should complete the Student
Data Form.
Receiving clinical support does not assure passing the clinical.
The course coordinator, clinical faculty and clinical support
nurse will determine evaluation and grading.
If you are a clinical nurse and would like to provide support
to students, please complete the Clinical
Support Nurse Data Form.
