Lastly, for the degree courses in Nursing, only students of the pre- registration nursing degree programmes require designated clinical supervisors for clinical training. In the case of PolyU, the ratio of clinical supervisors to students is 1 staff to 5 students in years 1 and 2 of the programme, 1 staff to 6 students in year 3 and 1 staff to 10 students in year 4. For the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), the pre- registration nursing degree programme will be introduced in the academic year 1995-96 and the ratio of clinical instructors to students is planned to be approximately 1 staff to 20 students.
At present, designated clinical supervisors for the courses in Medical Laboratory Science, Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy offered by the PolyU are provided by the hospitals concerned. They are hospital staff remunerated by the Hospital Authority, except for some supervisors of the Higher Diploma programme in Medical Laboratory Science who are remunerated by the Department of Health as some students are placed in laboratories run by the Department of Health for clinical training. For the Bachelor of Science programme in Radiography, clinical supervision is provided by both the hospitals concerned and the PolyU. As regards the degree courses in Nursing, clinical supervisors of PolyU are remunerated from the recurrent grants allocated to the University whereas those of CUHK will be remunerated from the Earmarked Grants provided by the University Grants Committee (UGC) for the programme during the 1995-98 triennium.
