JHPC Clinical Contacts (touches)  INTERMEDIATE PROGRAM

A clinical contact (touch) can only be achieved in the clinical environment.

Credit cannot be given for patient contact when you are employed as an EMT.

It is critical that the proper precepting sheet be filled out to receive credit for the skill. Please have your preceptor sign your instructor cover sheet the first time they precept you. This insures we can identify who the preceptor is if that ever becomes necessary.

We encourage you to strive for excellence and better all the numbers.
