There is a national shortfall of student Allied Health Professional (AHP) clinical placement availability in the United Kingdom. Debate exists regarding ways to improve this situation against the backdrop of National Health Service (NHS) pressures. Historically, clinical educators have adopted a one clinical educator to one student (1:1) model.…

The aim of this chapter is to provide the reader with a broad overview of clinical simulation using case examples to highlight the evolving multidomain teaching pedagogy in healthcare professional programs.

Generalism is a key approach to healthcare organisation and delivery that enables person-centred, dynamic and cost-effective patient care. With its emphasis on adaptability, generalism requires expansive, nurturing and personalised approaches to clinical education in which a generalist attends to and explores patient priorities when…

Context: As athletic training education continues to evolve to a professional master's degree, understanding the career intentions of students preparing to graduate from professional master's programs is essential. Objective: To examine the career intentions of second-year professional master's athletic training students and identify the factors…

Psychological safety impacts learning in various professions and settings, including healthcare. While the construct has been investigated in medical and nursing education, less is known within allied health education. This study aimed to investigate athletic training and physical therapy students' perceptions of psychological safety within…

Context: Although catastrophic injuries are rare, athletic trainers must be ready for emergencies. It is unknown how athletic training students (ATSs) are prepared for postcritical incident management. Objective: To explore the perceived availability and helpfulness of resources available to ATSs after critical incidents. Design: Qualitative.…

Standardized patient encounters are being utilized more often in occupational therapy education as a replacement for traditional fieldwork. While there is a growing body of research to support the use of this model in developing student skillsets and confidence, there remains limited information on the topic, and no studies which look at its use…

This study examined whether athletic training students in a four-year undergraduate entry-level accredited athletic training program in a postsecondary institution perceived the PEARLS model as effective in providing feedback. Although students look to the feedback process to help them better understand their skill and performance level when…

Context: Athletic training students have identified clinical education as the most important aspect of their education when transitioning to practice. However, athletic training students have been frustrated with a lack of engagement, mentorship, and diversity within their clinical education experiences. As such, the selection and deselection of…

Context: As the health care landscape evolves, athletic training students (ATSs) must gain the skills necessary to effectively translate new evidence into practice to optimize patient outcomes. Knowledge translation is an iterative process that promotes the application of new knowledge by users, but little is known about how students perceive this…

Student belonging is well researched, with links identified between a sense of belonging in students and student experience (Pedler, Willis and Nieuwoudt, 2022), satisfaction (Fan, Luchok and Dozier, 2021), and student persistence (Ahn and Davis, 2023). Mattering refers to an individual student's perception that they are noticed and valued, and it…

Occupational therapy programs can use a variety of delivery modes for Level I fieldwork. All experiences aim to contribute to the clinical and professional preparation for Level II fieldwork. This study compared the Level II fieldwork outcomes for two cohorts of students, one that participated in simulation-based Level I fieldwork and one that…

Purpose: The purpose of this article is to promote the viewpoint that simulation debriefing is a critical element of the simulation experience, which serves to facilitate students' ability to synthesize information and construct new mental models as they prepare for their future work as speech-language pathologists. The use of simulations in…

Clinicians develop as teachers via many activities, from on-the-job training to formal academic programmes. Yet, understanding how clinicians develop the sensibilities of an educator and an appreciation of the complexity of educational environments is challenging. Studies of teacher development have maintained a relatively narrow definition of…

Scholarly practitioners are broadly defined as healthcare professionals that address critical practice problems using theory, scientific evidence, and practice-based knowledge. Though scholarly practice is included in most competency frameworks, it is unclear what scholarly practice "is," how it "develops" and how it is…
