Clinical education is also referred to as fieldwork education or experiential learning. It is the essential real-world exposure and training that students receive in professional settings. Some setting examples are health care facilities, hospitals, emergency centers, outpatient clinics, schools, athletic venues, community organizations, and private businesses.

Clinical education is a cornerstone of Pacific healthcare education and is integral in our commitment to training graduates to be practice ready.

A clinical educator, also known as a preceptor, clinical instructor, field instructor or field educator, is an experienced and passionate health care professional who provides supervision during a student’s clinical education experience in their field of study. Clinical supervision involves assessing learning needs and establishing clear goals. It also requires effective collaboration with Pacific’s Clinical Directors/Coordinators to structure learning strategies that foster the development of critical thinking, clinical practice skills, and independent clinical judgment.
