Longitudinal Clinical Placement

What is Longitudinal Clinical Placement?

Longitudinal Clinical Placement, or LCP, is a clinical immersion experience for our Phase 1 students. It involves a student coming to your practice setting, learning from you, and directly interacting with patients. LCP is our students’ first official clinical experience within the curriculum. It is an excellent way for them to begin implementing their academic knowledge in a practical setting, while also working on patient interaction skills. They will observe how experienced clinicians such as yourselves operate.
