Self-check

Are you audit-ready?

Five statements that separate a defensible practicum record from a scramble at submission. Tick the ones that are true for you right now.

I log every clinical session within 48 hours of it happening.

Each entry records the activity type, population, and whether the hours are direct or indirect.

My supervisor has verified my entries within the last 30 days.

I can produce a single document showing all verified hours if asked today.

I track direct and indirect hours separately and know my programme’s minimum for each.

Not audit-ready

None of the five fundamentals are in place. If your programme coordinator asked for your record tomorrow, you would be scrambling. Start with logging consistently — even 30 seconds per session closes the biggest gap.
