Clinical Education
Clinical Placement Training Handbook
Clinical education is a foundational component of ACATCMâs academic programs. The Clinical Placement Training Handbook establishes the institutional framework governing all clinical training activities conducted under ACATCM. It applies to all ACATCM students, faculty, and approved clinical training sites, including the ACATCM Primary Teaching Clinic, Huatuo Clinic, and affiliated teaching clinics across Canada.
The objectives of this handbook are to:
- Define the structure and expectations of clinical education within ACATCM programs
- Ensure consistency, quality, and accountability across all clinical training environments
- Protect patient safety and uphold the highest standards of professional and ethical practice
- Clarify the roles and responsibilities of ACATCM, clinical partners, supervisors, and students
- Support the development and expansion of a national network of approved clinical training sites
This handbook is a living document and is subject to revision. All users are responsible for ensuring that they are referring to the most current version.
