The fieldwork experience is best when mutually beneficial for the site and the student. Many fieldwork educators ask students to complete a project to be presented at the end of fieldwork that will enhance learning and provide benefit for the facility staff, population served, or future students who complete fieldwork at the site. Below are some ideas that have been utilized.
Case Study Presentation: The student will choose an interesting or unique case to share with the rest of the clinicians in a formal presentation
In-service: The student will present a new treatment style or technique that clinicians are interested in learning about
Assessment exploration or education: The student will explore current assessments that would be beneficial to use with the population served. They may choose one to educate clinicians about one assessment, or compile information about multiple possible assessments.
Equipment Development: The student will build a peice of adaptive equipment or equipment to be used during intervention sessions.
Patient Kit: The student will develop take-home resources for patients to use in between sessions or after discharge
Patient Resources: The student will develop evidence-based resources for patients to use to complete exercises or improve wellness, or parent handouts that are helpful
Student Handbook: Students will develop or add to a resource bank or book that future students can utilize at the fieldwork site (cheat sheets, diagnosis information, intervention ideas, etc)
Poster: Visual to be posted with easily understood information that will be hepful to patients or staff.
Group: Students may develop and run an evidence-based intervention or support group that will benefit multiple patients
