A variety of clinical activities will facilitate the integration of core curriculum concepts including determinants of health, transitions, and principles of primary health care. An evidence-informed approach will be reflected in the practice area. Preceptorship students will have the opportunity to further integrate theory and skills in preparation for entry to practice.
