Rationale

It is widely recognised that positive professional relationships as students undertaking practical or professional experience create more opportunities for personal and professional growth. Supervisory relationships and clinical education to promote professional learning and development can take many forms. There are a variety of terms in common usage to describe and explain these roles and relationships, with variation occurring across locations and professions. Building on the foundations developed in HEA8201, this course enables the student to explore these relationships, with a focus on mentoring and preceptorship, and experience the relationship in the roles as both a preceptor for students/peers and a mentee to develop the skills for successful professional support relationships.

Synopsis

Using a self-directed learning package, participants in this course will engage with relevant professional literature before developing their own plan for engaging clinical learners, drawing on their own experiences as well as evidence-based practices outlined within the literature. Participants will identify a suitable mentor to provide personalised support and direction. Students will be actively involved in engaging with contemporary literature, completing a mentor-mentee formalised agreement and developing further personally and professionally to meet the demands of professional learning in a clinical context.
