Speech-language pathologists’ preparation to become clinical educators

<p>Clinical education is significant in a student clinician’s educational journey to prepare them for their career after graduation. It provides the hands-on component that can only be learned and fully understood through performing. The literature regarding students’ experiences in clinical education is vast, but there is a shortage of literature that explores the perceptions of clinical educators (CEs). This thesis consists of three articles. The first article explores the perceptions speech-language pathologists’ have regarding the preparation they received to become CEs, and then the second article takes a look at how the requirements to becoming CEs differ across similar clinical disciplines. Finally, the third article takes a look at how student-CE partnerships can foster professional socialization and growth in clinical settings.</p> <p>Keywords: clinical education, clinical educator, graduate students, internships</p>
