KIN 390Clinical Field Placement

This is an unpaid field placement for undergraduate Kinesiology students in the Centre for Community, Clinical, and Applied Research Excellence (CCCARE) or a department-affiliated site. This field placement involves an unpaid commitment of 6-8 hours per week for at least 12 weeks of the term. Students will be mentored by registered kinesiologists, clinical exercise physiologists or equivalent who contribute to the delivery of community-engaged clinical exercise programs. This placement is structured based on principles and best practices of work-integrated learning, which not only reinforces theory-to-practice linkages, but also fosters growth and development in professionalism, communication, collaboration, and self-directed learning. An opportunity to exhibit civic responsibility through community service is also provided.
