Support AB 2288 - Appropriations Committee.
Thank you to those who helped pass the bill unanimously through the Senate Committee for Business, Professions, and Economic Development.
Now the bill has been sent to the Committee on Appropriations! Please let's keep the momentum going & sign this petition to the Committee on Appropriations Members.
Why is this important?
There is an urgent bill at the CA legislature that will allow flexibility in the clinical hours & lecture concurrency in the face of Covid-19.
AB 2288 would:
• allow approved requests to last until the end of the approved academic term (semester/quarter, etc.) so that students do not lose any alternate clinical placements
• maintain the current 50% direct patient care hours and might allow up to 75% in some circumstances
• allow schools to teach theory and clinical non-concurrently up to one academic term to accommodate students who received an incomplete last term or students who may receive an incomplete but otherwise completed theory even if they lost their clinical placement.
These are incredible provisions and, if passed, we would no longer be at the mercy of the BRN to act swiftly and appropriately in the face of further complications in our education due to Covid-19.
It is critical we band together to urge the CA legislature to support AB 2288.
