This qualitative study gathered the opinions of healthcare employers to better understand the importance, benefits, obstacles, and evolving issues related to allied health (AH) clinical education from the employers' perspective, with the goal to identify opportunities to strengthen and improve clinical-educational partnerships.
Member deans of the Association of Schools of Allied Health Professions (ASAHP) provided names and contact information of employers that routinely educate their students. Interviews were scheduled with employers who responded to Clinical Education Task Force (CETF) invitation. Twenty-one interviews were conducted by CETF members in early 2016 and analyzed utilizing qualitative software.
Themes included benefits of working with students and hiring trainees, and obstacles of time and effort required to host students. A trend was noted in gaps between educational preparation and clinical performance. Recent changes highlighted increased technology and regulation, while anticipated changes included more focus on learning on site, longer clinical experiences, and payment for clinical education.
Collaboration between educators and employers is essential to ensure that curriculum and outcomes match the needs of the field and effectively prepare students as entry-level clinicians.
这项定性研究收集了医疗保健雇主的意见，以便从雇主的角度更好地理解与联合健康（AH）临床教育相关的重要性、益处、障碍及不断演变的问题，目标是确定加强和改善临床教育伙伴关系的机会。
联合健康职业学校协会（ASAHP）的成员院长提供了定期对其学生进行教育的雇主的姓名和联系信息。与回应临床教育特别工作组（CETF）邀请的雇主安排了访谈。CETF成员在2016年初进行了21次访谈，并使用定性软件进行了分析。
主题包括与学生合作及雇佣实习生的益处，以及接待学生所需的时间和精力方面的障碍。注意到教育准备与临床绩效之间存在差距的趋势。近期的变化突出了技术和法规的增加，而预期的变化包括更注重现场学习、更长的临床经验以及临床教育的报酬。
教育工作者与雇主之间的合作对于确保课程和成果符合该领域的需求并有效地将学生培养成为初级临床医生至关重要。
