I agree that by completing the checklist and signing this form I have met the mandatory pre-requisites
and confidentiality form in preparation for my practice education placement. In addition, I am aware
that each health organization and placement site/location will have specific policies and additional
information that I must review and understand prior to commencing practice education activities.
Any requirements not met or completed may result in the cancellation or suspension of your practicum. Ensure
records are maintained and accurate. “The HCO may cancel practice education experience if there is evidence
that the student has not met the pre-requisites or orientation requirements.” (PEG 1-6
