Improving clinical instruction: comparison of literature
1Diagnostic Imaging Program at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Connecticut, USA.
Context:
Clinical education in radiologic technology and athletic training is similar in that both programs use clinical sites and clinical instructors to instruct and evaluate student competency.
Objective:
The purpose of this paper is to review and compare the literature from radiologic technology and athletic training clinical education.
Methods:
The literature for this review was obtained using ProQuest and PubMed databases, from the years 1998 to 2006. Research is available for both radiologic technology and athletic training and provides a good comparison.
Results:
Radiologic technology students experience various clinical stressors that can be remedied by properly trained clinical instructors and instructors who spend quality time with students. The opinions regarding the necessary behaviors of clinical instructors vary between program directors, clinical instructors and students.
Conclusion:
Cooperation and communication between programs and clinical instructors is important for students to achieve clinical success. A comparison of the literature demonstrates that radiologic technology and athletic training programs are similar; thus, ideas from athletic training can be applied to radiologic technology clinical education.
