Clinic Practice Sessions Under Supervision

FURTHER TRAINING IN KINESIOLOGY

An extremely important part of the Professional Training, is for Students to have experience of seeing Clients in clinic conditions under the supervision of a Tutor. This forms a vital and necessary part of the course structure of Professional training.

To achieve the necessary number of Credits, the Academy requires graduates to bring Clients to the Academy clinic, to fulfil all the stated number of Clinic sessions, at present two. Plan early to fulfil this requirement, diarise it in your schedule, and do not leave it to the last minute. Failure to fulfil this requirement will lead to your Professional certificate being withheld.

If a Student is seeing another undergraduate, or Graduate of the Academy on a Client basis, with proper case notes, then the Student may bring that “Client” to a clinic session, in order partly to fulfil the academic requirements. The only exception to this is where the two Students are in a personal relationship or married, respecting normal ethical practice.

The clients students bring will have been informed of the current fee structure of the Clinic Sessions, and will be expected to pay for their treatment at the time of the visit to the Clinic. The fee is £60 for 2008, payable to the assessor/tutor for the session and the administrative expenses of the Clinic.

If the student cancels a Clinic Practice session for whatever reason with less than 48 hours notice, the student will be responsible for paying the assessing tutors fee. The student will then be responsible to arrange another Clinic Practice session.

The Appointments will be set up by the Principal. Clinic times on specific days will be set aside for this purpose, and these dates will be made available to the Students. Appointments will be set up on an hour and a half basis. The Student will need to plan to arrive at the same time as the Client if they are travelling separately.
