Abstract

Background The skills and qualities of the clinical educator are clearly embedded within the literature. The interactions between the educator and student throughout the placement journey are an important component of the student's experience. Although clinical educator roles and interactions with students have been studied in physiotherapy, determining the perceived ideal clinical educator through the lens of the student remained under analysed. The aim of this study was to explore physiotherapy student's perceptions of the ideal clinical educator.
