Quick reference guide for faculty and instructors

Faculty and instructors are employees of educational institutions who instruct and supervise students during the practice education experience.

All placements must be coordinated by the educational institution placing coordinator. Please direct all inquiries to the student practice team at student.placement@fraserhealth.ca. Do not contact the practice setting or a Fraser Health employee directly.

Learn more about the placement process.

Practice Education Guidelines for B.C. are used to guide the roles and responsibilities of faculty, instructors, students and the health organization employees during the practice education experience. It is your responsibility to be familiar these guidelines (e.g., placement process, practice issues, negative behaviours in the workplace, etc.).
