Virtual Clinical Practicum®Virtual Clinical Practicum®

The Virtual Clinical Practicum® (VCP) was designed to provide a live, clinical experience to nursing students at Mount Aloysius College from a distance.  It was envisioned as a venue for nursing students to gain clinical skills using telehealth technologies in the absence of visiting actual clinical sites. The VCP process was developed as a potential solution to expanding nursing school enrollment to accommodate the nursing shortage in the face of limited clinical practice sites as well as limited clinical experts, especially in rural areas.
