my rural placement

I recently completed my rural placement. I had a very interesting experience on the prac. It was a great placement and I saw a variety of area in physio such as gerontology, musculo, neuro, antenatal and post-natal, etc, basically every area in Physiotherapy. I worked alone most of the time, which was good challenging for me. As you know, normally we work with at least one of supervisors and sometimes I feel like they are assessing me and I have to change my opinion to supervisor view. Even though supervisor view is correct I think we have to think about it, not like getting answer immediately. For me the time is a bit longer. But this placement was I have more freedom and I can treat my patient without anybody. It helped a lot for my clinical judgment, not supervisor view. I can think about my clinical judgment by myself. I have taken a lot of confidence away from this placement, especially in terms of my self-clinical judgment.

  1. I think having some independence gives you a lot more confidence and being confident helps you to think clearly and treat effectively. Also patientts pick up on confidence and are more likely to have positive responses to your treatment if you give off a confident vibe.
