Abstract | This paper examines the challenges and benefits of synchronous remote supervision of clinical and practical placements for undergraduate students undertaking professional degrees that require a field or clinical placement. In Australia many professional degrees (nursing, medicine, teaching, speech pathology, clinical psychology etc) undertaken at universities require students to demonstrate that they meet graduate attributes and specified learning outcomes in accordance with the requirements of the external accrediting body. For many professional degrees universities tend to rely on adjunct or clinical supervisors to sign off that the student has achieved the requirements with little or no tangible evidence apart from signed reports. The Australian Federal Government and many other governments have expressed concern about the quality of graduates in professions particularly as it is universities and not hospitals, clinics or schools that are accrediting the graduates. This paper details the challenges confronting universities to overcome these difficulties and how through virtual synchronous supervision the quality of graduates can be observed and assessed with tangible evidence in a cost effective yet evidence based manner. Using synchronous links to various sites university supervisors have been able to observe and engage with the undergraduate students while they are on placement or practicum. |
