Explaining the practicum experiences of diagnostic radiography undergraduates in Australia and Ethiopia using the theory of human relatedness
Practice learning is critical to the development of clinical skills; hence placements are a major component of all pre-registration radiography programmes.

Providing effective placements which promote retention may not only require better appreciation of students ’ clinical reflections, but also a more fundamental understanding of the implicit criteria they use to appraise a practicum.
