Hello Sir Andro,
I appreciate your shared thoughtful reflection of your clinical experience. I truly resonate with your insight on how the clinical setting serves as both a powerful learning environment and a potential source of stress for students. Your emphasis on the value of context, planning, and supportive guidance highlights the crucial role clinical instructors play—not just in supervision, but as mentors and advocates for student learning. I especially appreciate how you acknowledge the emotional and psychological dimensions of clinical exposure. It's true that while students gain irreplaceable skills like critical thinking, teamwork, and real-time decision-making, these can be compromised if the environment lacks psychological safety. Your proactive stance in transforming challenges into learning moments and acting as a buffer between students and clinical pressures is commendable. It’s a reminder that effective clinical teaching is not just about competencies, but also about compassion and presence.
