Description
Clinical settings are dynamic educational spaces that present both opportunities and barriers to learning and teaching. Designed to
inform, challenge and educate health professionals about the evidence underpinning clinical education practices and outcomes, this multi-disciplinary
book brings together important concepts in healthcare education and addresses context and processes of learning, professional identity
and socialisation, feedback and assessment, ethics, and inter-professional education. The authors encourage teaching and learning practices
based on research findings, expertise and innovation, and the development of individual teaching methods and styles from a theoretical
base that provides relevant principles, direction and support. With clear links between theory, research and practice, collaboration
from a broad range of clinical disciplines, and models for learning and teaching grounded in empirical research, Clinical Education in
the Health Professions will become a standard reference for all health professionals and educators.
Audience:
University and clinical educators in physiotherapy, OT, osteopathy, podiatry, speech pathology, medical radiation science, and nutrition and dietetics.
