Abstract
Virtually all educational programmes for health professionals involve work-based or practice-based learning experiences, often referred to as clinical or professional practice placements. In Australia, professional accrediting bodies mandate either that a minimum number of practice based hours must be completed prior to graduation or that students must attain a range of clinical/professional competencies that can only be achieved by prolonged exposure to practice-based learning environments.
