    Abstract

    Supporting quality clinical teaching and learning requires a fine balance between meeting the priorities of multiple stakeholders and sectors such as the university, the health service, students and teachers.

    The symbiotic clinical education framework was employed as the basis of an interdisciplinary, post-graduate clinical education course for health professionals to consider the key relationships within their own clinical setting.

    Clinical education is most effective when it is mutually beneficial to all stakeholders. Health Professions educators from a variety of backgrounds come together in this course and grapple with the practical aspects of their role.
