Clinical and Program Health and Safety Requirements

West Coast University students enrolled in programs involving clinical, lab, practicum and fieldwork experiences are required to complete health and safety requirements according to individual program and site requirements. Because many students are involved in direct patient care in health care careers, they may be exposed to conditions of high risk and therefore must be protected. Patients must also be protected against potential health risks from students. See the program specific sections in this Catalog and/or in the program handbook for additional requirements.
