¶ … learners a clinical setting --Desirable staff role models? What risks mitigated?
Discuss three assessment strategies you would use to evaluate the effectiveness of a clinical instructor
In-class, scheduled observations are one of the most common methods used to assess the effectiveness of instructors. Of course, this method is not foolproof -- an instructor will likely show off the class at its best, when he or she is anticipating a visit from an evaluator. However, even a planned visit at least demonstrates to the evaluator what the teacher believes are his or her strengths. The teacher's method of interacting with the class, the classes' responsiveness to the teacher's demeanor and the teacher's method of structuring the lesson plan can all be reviewed.
Unplanned observations, of course, take away the ability of the teacher to prepare for a visitor (although the teacher can be warned that unplanned assessments will occur throughout the semester). These observations, if they accidentally happen on a bad day, may show the instructor in a bad light. However, provided that follow-up...
The problem with this method is that easier teachers may get better reviews than harder teachers. But even if students are not objective authorities, their input can still be valuable, particularly critiques about the teacher's clarity and level of interest in his or her students. Also, the student's positive or negative reviews can be anonymously matched with their grades -- even if the teacher is not aware of the specific ratings of individual students, the evaluators can contextualize the students' responses in light of the students' final performance ratings.
Q2. Should you place learners in a clinical setting that has less-than-desirable staff role models? What are the risks and how could they be mitigated?

Clinical Research Administration Embracing the scholar-practitioner (SP) model in clinical research represents a critical responsibility to improve, to inform, and to inspire the lives of others: improve through scholarly research, inform through practical application, and inspire through leadership. During the semester, awareness was heightened as to the importance of scholarly writing, theory implementation, and leadership influence. Being charged with such responsibilities is not for the faint of heart. Becoming independent scholars
Clinical Research Ethics Medical research is the most sensitive field of research in the entire field of academia. It is governed by several rules, regulations, and ethical standards. For instance, no research endeavor is allowed in case it hurts the life of any human being whether directly or indirectly. Secondly, any research that is to be done must meet environmental conservation measures and should not deride or harm human dignity in
Letter to Support the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA) The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA) is an Act of U.S. Congress that makes it illegal for employers and health insurance companies to use genetic information against an individual. For instance, if a person has a genetic predisposition to a particular disease that runs in his or her family tree, an insurer is not allowed to use
Nurse led clinical research: neonatal nurses' perceptions and experiences The aims of the study are to understand the experiences of clinical nurses in conducting and utilizing clinical research within their neonatal setting. This is a qualitative study of five neonatal nurses who were interviewed using semi-structured, face-to-face interviews to obtain the study data. This was a phenomenology-based study, which means it was meant to study the overall structure of the nurses experiences
Roles of Clinical Research Team Members The relevance of a competently constituted clinical research team cannot be overstated when it comes to the success of clinical trials. This is true for both a site-based clinical research team and a sponsor-based clinical research team. Sponsor-Based Clinical Research Team Data Coordinator According to Robinson (2009, p. 9), "the primary role of a data coordinator is to ensure that the clinical trial database is accurate and complete,
Stakeholders in Clinical Research Trials There are various stakeholders involved in clinical trials. These include, but they are not limited to, funding agencies, the patient, the government, regulatory and oversight boards, the general public, insurers (if any), and the industry. In essence, these stakeholders not only influence, but also contribute to the process as well as outcome of clinical trials in a variety of ways. Below, I concern myself with three
