Student Practice Education

 
These pages will help you prepare for a practicum, and understand the student placement process at PHSA and its programs.

Welcome, students and faculty!

If you have a confirmed placement with us, you can get orientation information and tasks here. These should be completed before you arrive at your placement site and will help you to:
  • understand key policies 
  • meet confidentiality requirements 
  • learn about your placement site

1Orientation for all BC health authorities

Complete the Student Practice Education Core Orientation (SPECO)

The SPECO Curriculum on the Learning Hub provides the core suite of orientation modules that all students are required to complete prior to their placement at any BC health authority.

To complete SPECO, you will need to create a 'student' Learning Hub account, using your school-based email address. The LearningHub account will maintain a record of your health authority learning, continuing into employment.

Second, complete the PHSA Student Orientation.

If you do not have a placement at PHSA or to learn how placements at PHSA are coordinated, please go to Placement Coordination.

Coast Salish Teachings offer foundational guidance on how we work together. Coast Salish Knowledge Keeper, Shace Pointe, Sulksun, has gifted six teachings to PHSA. He explains how the teachings are Coast Salish law. The teachings ground us, and offer guidance on how we may do our best as human beings and show up in relation to one another.
