Part 1 Connecting the Dots: How Do Teaching and Learning Strategies Shape the Clinical Experience?

It is no doubt that matching students with Clinical Instructors (CI) can be challenging despite all stakeholders wanting the same positive outcome. The student is excited to learn, and the CI is honored to teach, yet it can feel as if something is preventing the learning from occurring. In this course, a Director of Clinical Education (DCE) will share insights on the impact of teaching and learning strategies to improve clinical education outcomes. Experiences will be shared from academic and clinical partners in using these strategies to ethically place students, and support the student-CI relationship, to facilitate quality student learning in the clinic.

 

Part 2: Creating Ethical and Equitable Student Learning Objectives and Expectations in the Clinical Setting

Implementation of well-developed written clinical student objectives and expectations has been found to facilitate communication and progression of the student’s learning through clinical education experiences. Clinical site objectives and expectations facilitate consistency within the student experience and measurement across clinical instructors. Clinical site objectives and expectations may need to be altered with individual students to ensure an equitable learning environment.
