A minimum of 77% proficiency is required on all clinically related practical examinations. Safety requirements must be met at a 100% competency level. The practical examinations require the student to meet both safety and technical skill performance competencies. If a student does not perform in a safe manner, the student will receive an F grade for the practical examination; if the student earns less than 77% on the technical skill performance, the student will likewise receive an F grade for the practical examination. In either case, the student must retake the practical examination. The student must meet both safety (100%) and technical skill performance competencies (77%) to pass the practical retake.
