Trends in compensation and benefits provided to physical therapy students during clinical education.

Many facilities offering physical therapy clinical education for full-time affiliation students also provide some sort of compensation or benefits to students. Fiscal policy trends within health care institutions have influenced the extent to which these benefits are provided. The purpose of this study was to examine trends in providing specific benefits, namely, stipend, housing, meals, and uniform laundry, to students in full-time clinical education at the University of Michigan from 1967 to 1977. Data from annual facility information forms showed that, in general, these benefits have decreased during the years examined.

Experience with a consortium for exploring and arranging clinical eduction programs.

The Clinical Allied Health Education Center, a prototypic agency, was established to assist in addressing clinical education issues of various allied health professions within the western half of lower Michigan. The agency aids in coordinating the clinical phase of the education of students in the educational programs. In the process of establishing new clinical education sites, the individuals involved in the physical therapy educational program and at the potential site address issues related to the exploration, evaluation, development, and implementation of the clinical education program. The experience and process in establishing the relationship between the Curriculum in Physical Therapy at the University of Michigan and the Clinical Allied Health Education Center are described.
