  1. BROOKLYN 3 STUDENTS Holly BROWN Calypso THOMAS Fri 30thAug 2013 Session 3 / Talk 2 13:20 – 13:30 ABSTRACT Student experience with learning in the clinical environment can be extremely variable. A combination of communication and attitude of both student and qualified MITs can greatly affect this experience. This paper will explore these components from a student perspective in order to offer suggestions for how learning can be further improved. Using qualitative interviews from a range of students at Unitec, this paper will share the findings of the key elements that are perceived to lead to effective student learning. It will also look at some of the barriers, using real life student experiences from shared critical incidents. From these findings, this paper will suggest a range of practical recommendations for enhancing learning in the clinical environment to make it even more effective. >>DEPARTMENT OF MEDICAL IMAGING

  6. Background Literature “Clinical placements provide skill development, professional socialisation and the opportunity to integrate learning from academia and the workplace.” (Newton, Jolly, Ockerby & Cross, 2010) >>DEPARTMENT OF MEDICAL IMAGING

  8. Background Literature “The students strongly felt that their success depended mainly, if not solely, on the educator.” (Gqweta, 2012) “The culture of the area and attitudes of staff have been identified as having an influence on student learning.” (Coyne & Needham, 2012) “Clinical learning has been found to be influenced by organizational design, relationships with supervisors, length of time in practice and preparation of supervisors.” (Courtney-Pratt, FitzGerald, Ford, Marsden & Maslow, 2011) >>DEPARTMENT OF MEDICAL IMAGING

  9. Background Literature “Students have cited hospital staff shortages as an important issue leading to problems.” “Provided comments which indicated the number of students impacted on the experience.” (Courtney-Pratt, FitzGerald, Ford, Marsden & Maslow, 2011) >>DEPARTMENT OF MEDICAL IMAGING

  10. Background Literature “Which has found effective student facilitation is both time consuming and personally demanding.” (Coyne & Needham, 2012) >>DEPARTMENT OF MEDICAL IMAGING

  11. Information From Peers Questions we asked; Situations where effective learning had occurred in the clinical environment Where further improvements that could be made to make learning in the clinical setting even more effective. What works best for them to facilitate their own personal clinical learning >>DEPARTMENT OF MEDICAL IMAGING

  12. What Can Make it Better? • A welcoming and accepted environment • Clarification of the students abilities at the start of the day • Support but freedom at the same time • Monitoring of different students abilities • Working together for longer periods of time • Opportunities for debriefing after an examination • Effective feedback >>DEPARTMENT OF MEDICAL IMAGING
