Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate students’ experiences during a 2-week clinical clerkship in an occupational therapy practice program based on a Clinical Clerkship Checklist （CCC） consisting of 123 items. Methods: The participants were 48 second-year students who had completed a 2-week clinical clerkship in occupational therapy at a training school. The clerkship was held at a specialized physical therapy hospital, during which the CCC was completed by a clinical educator （CE）. The survey method was based on the observation experience, first and second semesters of imitation, and implementation status （checklist status） of each CCC used by individual students, which was submitted after the clerkship was completed. Results: The analysis included 38 CCC checklists completed. Of these, 80 items （65% of the total） were experienced by >50% of the participants at the observation or higher level. Of these, 40, 79, and 80 items were imitated in the early phase, late phase, and alone, respectively. The number of experiences in the imitation/execution phase was significantly less than that in the observation phase, indicating a significant portion of practice time spent in the early stages of observation and imitation. Conclusion: These results reveal that CEs and practicing school faculty should share information and plan students’ experiences in clinical practice in advance, actively using CCC, even during the two-week training period.
