Direct Care Application Learning Activity
Purpose
The purpose of the direct care application learning activities is to provide students with a meaningful alternative for practicum experiences when warranted due to extenuating circumstances.
Format
Each direct care application would be presented via webinar (approximately 1 to 1.5 hours in length). Within the webinar, students will be provided with content as well as action steps they can take to put learning into practice. For each direct care activity, a debrief will include reflective questions answered and then submitted by the students.
