SB1348 Reporting
In September 2018, CA State Legislature passed SB-1348 requiring CCCCO to report additional information on clinical placements within degree and certificate programs in allied health. Reporting requires the collection of clinical site license numbers (or EIN), the total number of students placed at each site, and the languages the placed students are proficient in other than English.
As of Summer/Fall 2022 reporting is now in NOVA: Allied Health
