Abstract

Placements have an important role in the competency development of speech-language pathology students. Using data from 121 student questionnaires and a new graduate focus group, we used thematic analysis to explore clinical education from the perspective of speech-language pathology students and new graduates. Five themes were identified: university factors, placement factors, student factors, learning in real world, and transition to work. Findings suggest curriculum design and the quality of placements are important factors for student learning and new graduate transition to the workplace.
