Thriving in Todays Complex Clinical Practice Environment

Date: Friday, 27 September 2024 | Time: 4.20pm - 5.50pm | Venue: Academia, L2-S3 Expanded
Track Type: Main Conference Symposium
Speakers: Ms Tai Yuen Ling Esther, Ms Chow Mei Shi Amelia, Mr Qamaruzaman Bin Syed Gani, Mr Lam Jun Yan Calvin, Ms Lye Yu Li

This symposium is a consolidation of initiatives put together by various Allied Health Professionals (AHPs) and the Education Development Office (EDO) team from NUH over the last two years to support both students and clinical educators (CE). The ever-increasing student placement demands, fuelled by cohort size increases, to meet the demand for new allied health professionals means having to innovate placement structures to cater more students, while not compromising their learning experience. It also means ensuring a steady CE pipeline who are adequately supported as they journey as an educator. You will hear from a group of speakers from PT/OT/STs - who are the various section CE leads - share their experiences in implementing various teaching initiatives to structure the learning for both CEs and students alike.

Learning Outcome(s):

By the end of the symposium, participants will be able to:

Understand the challenges and needs of Allied Health CEs
Understand how to structure a mentoring program to guide and support new educators
Understand how to facilitate peer learning activities and promote collaborative learning throughout a placement
Discuss the mechanisms in maintaining CE wellbeing and support within a team of educators

Target Audience:

Healthcare educators or educational leads who are clinical educators for either students or staff. Participants should have some basic knowledge of clinical education.
