I agree that I will NOT divulge questions on examinations to individuals who have not completed these examinations. I understand that the unauthorized possessing or reproduction of any examination questions is in violation of the concept of confidentiality.

I agree that I will not divulge or copy any information regarding staff, visitors, or patients or discuss the information outside of the clinical setting. A violation of this type WILL result in disciplinary action. Appropriate conduct concerning children is a concern of all of society. Recognizing the responsibility of all healthcare providers to protect children from being physically and sexually abused, we require the students to sign a statement, signifying there have been no accusations or charges filed against them for any inappropriate conduct concerning children. A violation of this type WILL result in disciplinary action. A resident of the state of Michigan seeking clinical privileges or employment in a nursing home, hospital, long term care unit, county medical care facility, or home for the aged may be required to have a criminal background history check done. Recognizing this as a possibility, we require the student to sign a statement regarding criminal background history stating they have not been convicted of: A felony or an attempt or a conspiracy to commit a felony within the 15 years immediately prior to this date. A misdemeanor involving abuse, neglect, assault, battery, or criminal sexual conduct or involving fraud or theft against vulnerable adults as that term is defined in section 145m of the Michigan Penal Code, 1931 PA 328, MCL 750.145m, or a state or federal crime that is substantially similar to a misdemeanor described in this statement within the past 10 years immediately prior to this date. A violation of this type WILL result in disciplinary action.

Statement of Clinical Privileges I understand that if the information provided is not accurate or complete, my clinical privileges will be immediately withdrawn.

PART TWO: Acceptance of Policies and Procedures I have received, read, and understand the policies and procedures of Davenport University College of Health Professions (COHP) as outlined in the current College of Health Professions (COHP) Student Handbook.

Some providers maintain policies, rules or regulations based upon religious, ethical and other grounds that may be objectionable to students. Davenport University does not endorse and has no opinion with respect to the policies, rules and regulations of these providers. By enrolling in a course that involves clinical or professional practice experience, each student agrees to comply with all policies, rules and regulations of the relevant provider. I also understand that a lack of adherence to these policies and procedures may result in dismissal from the Davenport University COHP Program(s). I have been given the opportunity to ask questions and seek clarification. HINT/HSAD/MCMG Practicum Application - Page 4 of 7
