Recommended Models!
Recommended Models!
Collaborative learning: One full time researcher can supervise four students! Peer support is essential for students to thrive.
Split/Share models: Each educator should be allocated at least one other co-educator. This role will assist with feedback, assessment, support etc
Multidisciplinary: Placement providers should start grouping students by profession, as this will simplify the . Once experience has been gained, providers can progress to multidisciplinary teams later, despite being more complex they provider a richer experience for students, staff and service users!
Long arm supervision is the supervision on students that is not face to face, it allows work to be distributed and assessed remotely, though some in-person supervision would be recommended to holistically assess skills.
Hybrid: This involves incorporating clinical days or aspect to their placement, They are especially useful with competency based professions to ensure competency outcomes are achieved
