Designing, Implementing, and Evaluating a Practice Tutor Internship Model during an Acute Care Clinical Internship.
Conclusions: On the basis of CIs' and students' self-reports, the piloted practice tutor model was perceived to facilitate students' clinical reasoning and collaborative learning skills. In addition, during the 5-week internship, the number of patients seen each day by the individual CIs and their students was not reduced, with a trend toward increased patient attendance. There was also a trend toward CIs having the same or more time to manage their caseload and work with the students compared with a non-practice tutor internship model. Recommendations to improve this model in future implementations are made.
