Abstract
The provision of clinical placements for pre-registration allied health students facilitates the ability for students to integrate theory into real-world practice and develop professional skills. Providing authentic work-integrated learning (WIL) experiences, particularly in rural locations provides students with an opportunity for both immersion within organisations and communities, which increases the potential for recruitment and retention in these locations. Health service managers and clinician supervisors are key stakeholders in providing clinical placements for allied health students. Understanding the barriers, enablers and sustaining factors from their perspectives is crucial to not only sustaining but expanding clinical placement opportunities into the future. This research uniquely considers the perspectives of health service managers and allied health clinicians, including those who participate in clinical supervision and clinicians who do not. The background and methodological approach underpinning this study will be explored and preliminary findings emerging from the text construction and interpretation process will be shared.

| Other | Program and abstract book attached to PID 407164971 Welcome to the Faculty of Science and Health Higher Degree Research and Honours Symposium! The Symposium is an opportunity for research students in the Faculty of Science and Health to present their research to their peers in a conference setting and to receive valuable feedback. It is also an opportunity to attend professional development workshops and to meet those supporting your research. There is an extraordinary variety of research being undertaken within our faculty and this breadth will be showcased during the Symposium. Our research investigates fundamental human needs such as food and water, through to the health of both humans and the environment. It is exciting to be able to present a Symposium that offers such a diversity of research. |
