This event was designed for those clinicians who have not mentored a student before, for new Clinical Educators, and for those Clinical Educators who have not supervised in a few years.
The format was as follows:
A panel of Clinical Educators who have experience mentoring students (2 from Audiology and 2 from Speech-Language Pathology) answered questions about their involvement with supervising students. The majority of this event was interactive, where attendees were able to ask the panel any and all questions about student supervision.
Some of the questions that were addressed by the panel:
1. What is one thing being a Clinical Educator has taught you so far about student mentorship?
2. What was your biggest worry when you started as a Clinical Educator? Do you still have that worry now?
3. What is one piece of advice you would share with potential or relatively new Clinical Educators who think they are not ready to supervise students?
The Learning Objectives of this event were:
1. Clinical Community Building: To connect potential, new, and experienced Clinical Educators, regardless of geographical location.
2. Capacity Building: To increase the knowledge and confidence of potential Clinical Educators or CEs who have not mentored a student for a period of time, who have expressed that their main barrier to not taking a student is not feeling ready.
3. Network Building: Increase the clinical community’s awareness of their SASS points of contact 1) the CF Representatives and 2) the Academic Clinical Coordinators of Education (ACCE) team.
