 WG Practice based learning

Main Goals  The results of this working group should lead to more practice placements abroad  The results of this working group should lead to a structural exchange of best practices (from teacher perspectives as well as student perspectives)  The results of this working group give the different institutions the opportunity to solve the “problem” of clinical placements

Problem definitions  diversity of the programs  how can we make a connection between two non fitting programs  what adjustments can be made in the own institution  how flexible is a student in “non regular” learning programs

Questions  How are internship organized in your University  How do you assess your students  Do you work with learning goals  Do you work with specific levels during internships

Questions  How are internship organized in your University  How do you assess your students  Do you work with learning goals  Do you work with specific levels during internships Based on this exploration we asked to answer two questions in Lahti:  Where do you see possibilities for improving exchange  In case of “ Non fitting” programs: how creative are you in making things fit

First steps to solutions  Support in training (special course) for workplace supervisor (Improve the pedagogical competence)  Local students work together with Erasmus students (e.g 2:1 placement model), in order to tackle the language problem  Important that we have clear how and what we assess, what differences there are in learning outcomes, EC’s etc. (mentioned by all the groups) and strive for a certain similarity ( discussion point in Istanbul)

What to work on  assessment of practice placements: criteria, responsibility,  esco consequences?  wcpt guideline clinical education  connecting with wg internationalization: additional info about placement posibilities

What we worked on in Istanbul  assessment of practice placements: criteria, responsibility,  esco consequences?  wcpt guideline clinical education  connecting with wg internationalization: additional info about placement posibilities

Results  Results group 1: list of needed information in the mobility map. (same as the ISB internationalization wg)  Collaboration with wg mobility map needed  In Tartu information in the map  Results group 2: questionnaire and letter to the institutions on criteria and methods of assessing CP  In Tartu presentation of the information gathered. Start on the international competency list.  Results group 3: Patient grading system  In Tartu complete proposal grading system (patient part)

What we worked on after Istanbul  A list of needed information with suggestions were to place it in the MM is offered to the WG mobility  a framework for a patient grading system

European Network for Practical Placements

Problem  State of uncertainty between practices and students. Solution  Find a way to dissolve these boundaries.

Problems  Universities do not have a database of practices to suit them and the students.  Supervisors don’t always receive well suited (+ useful) students.  International students follow different education programs, creating different levels of potential in each year.

Solutions  Universities affiliated with ENPHE contribute data of all European practices their students have visited.  Creating a shared database of information for Universities.  For universities to decide minimum placement learning criteria for each year. (explained later)  Used by supervisors to determine if they can provide it.  For practices to decide student requirements, for each year, in advance. (explained later)  Filtering applications, enhancing compatibility, improving learning.

Requirements UNIVERSITY: 1. Type: Ortho, Neuro, CardioResp, Hospital etc. 2. Criteria: Must / Should / Could / Shouldn’t … …With regards to: Observation / Handling / Ownership NB: This is created by each university, specific for each year and must be supported by the course syllabus. Providing a minimum requirement for ‘musts’ allows the supervisor to decide the ‘shoulds’. Increasing chance of placement.

Requirements PRACTICE: Language Insurance Year of study Interest in future work abroad?

Main points + Benefits  This is a tool of ENPHE.  This will combine every universities advantages.  Improve student international mobility.  Increase student-practice compatibility.  Practices become part of a regulated, learning network.  Help supervisors see the benefits of having students from successful and suitable placements.

How to start?  Talk to your directors and international offices. interest: For the next seminar: An introduction leaflet of the European Network for Practical Placement (ENPP) benefits will be created by us for the next seminar. This will outline the improved quality and benefits gained from being part of a structured network for student placements.
