Students participating in mandatory professional practicums gain work experience under the supervisor of an experienced registered or licensed professional (e.g. preceptor). These practicums or placements are typically linked to disciplines that require practice-based work experience for professional licensure or certification.
Practica are generally unpaid. Because the work is conducted in a supervised setting, students don't typically have their own workload or caseload.
Students in the School of Pharmacy complete three eight-week rotations in one of 14 regions across Ontario to provide experience in a community pharmacy setting.
You can view more relevant literature on mandatory professional practicums or clinical placements by visiting WatCACE's WIL research portal.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Indigenous Initiatives Office.
