Participants with less clinical experience were less confident in managing challenging students (P = 0.003), multiple students (P = <0.001) and competing workplace and education duties (P = <0.001). Conclusions: Physiotherapists with varying professional characteristics were involved in CE. Although many participants had attended CE-related CPD, many reported that more training was required. Future training for clinical educators should be tailored to participants’ level of experience and focus on the components of CE in which they feel least confident. What is known about the topic?: The ability of physiotherapists to confidently assume a clinical educator role may affect their willingness to be clinical educators in the future and the students’ perceptions of clinical placement quality. CPD relating to CE may help prepare physiotherapists for the clinical educator role. What does this paper add?: There is a lack of information regarding physiotherapists’ involvement in CE, completion of CE-related CPD or perceived levels of confidence in various aspects of the clinical educator role, such as placement organisation, teaching, assessment and the provision of feedback. This study describes the involvement of physiotherapists in CE in Australia, including their demographic and professional characteristics, participation in CE-related CPD and confidence in various components of CE. What are the implications for practitioners?: Several recommendations regarding future CE-related CPD have resulted from this study, including tailoring CPD to the needs of physiotherapists based on their level of clinical or CE experience, focusing CPD on the aspects of CE in which physiotherapists feel least confident and raising the awareness of and improving accessibility to CPD opportunities in this area.]]> Thu 18 Aug 2022 14:49:36 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30394 Mon 23 Sep 2019 11:38:30 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32123 Mon 23 Sep 2019 10:10:18 AEST ]]>
