Introduction

Clinical education programmes prepare health professionals to work effectively in the healthcare environment. Developing clinical education programmes can be a complex process. It requires an in-depth understanding of available resources, stakeholder responsibilities and different models of clinical education. Some clinical education models may focus on early exposure to the clinical context while others wait until students complete their full academic curriculum. Clinical education models might emphasise the individual learner's knowledge and abilities or they might support "collective competence", where an individual's competence depends on shared knowledge and teamwork. This course introduces and examines clinical education models and key stakeholder responsibilities in clinical education.
