PSW Professional Practice 1

Course description

Students consolidate personal support worker skills, knowledge, and concepts with a supervised clinical placement in long-term care. As an active member of the interprofessional health care team, students implement problem-solving, critical thinking and time management skills to provide safe, effective, person-centred care. Through the use of basic assessment and the development of therapeutic relationships, students support clients’ autonomy and privacy, while providing essential care for daily living.

Students registering for credit courses for the first time must declare a program at the point of registration. Declaring a program does not necessarily mean students must complete a program, individual courses may be taken for skill improvement and upgrading.
