Description

Common across all the health professions are fieldwork issues such as clinical placements in hospitals, community based service provision, and client-therapist interaction. They all demand knowledge of skills and techniques, and all require proficiency in problem solving and clinical reasoning. Clinical and Fieldwork Placement in Health Professions prepares students for their work in clinical and fieldwork settings, where their understanding of the various clinical and client-centered environments is dependent not only on their knowledge and skills, but on how well they work with other health professionals. The text is intended to be used throughout the health students' course. It is interdisciplinary rather than discipline-specific, and incorporates both clinical placement and fieldwork education within the context of professional health care services and delivery. Some chapters will be more relevant for first year students, particularly the specific settings section, while others will be more appropriate for final year students, where broader issues such as ethics and legal responsibility are covered.
