In the field of audiology, research is constantly evolving, hearing aids are improving, and technology changes, as do guidelines for implant candidacty, etc. Having a student in your clinic is merely one more way to ensure that you are current on such topics (in addition of course to reading new and relevant articles and completing CEU courses). But moreover, you are meeting the future of the profession and creating a network- it's good to know people!

I find being a Clinical Instructor to benefit me multiple ways, but 1 way that stands out is that I am always able to take away a learning moment from the supervisee.  I see our role as a Clinical Educator as vital in continuing the quality services we as SLPs provide.  The supervisor/supervisee experience offers many rewards to both parties.

Becoming a clinical instructor requires us to reflect upon our successes and mistakes, so that we can best share them with our students. It is equal parts sharing and learning as new questions come up from our students.

One of the greatest benefits of being a clinical instructor for me is that it assists me in maintaining my skills as a clinician, helps to keep me current in diagnostic and treatment approaches and allows me to sew into the lives of the future practitioner. I particularly enjoy that the students and I can learn from one another.

# data[].attributes.body
I think if the opportunity presents itself, it is important to be a clinical instructor because we then are giving back and supporting future colleagues. By passing on knowledge and expertise we are helping to develop incoming clinicians. Moreover, I think that it tests our skills by having to teach someone else and evaluate/reflect on our practices.

Clinical instruction is an investment that I am looking forward to making into the future clinicians of this field.

Our students are the future of our profession. By sharing with students the importance of culturally responsive service delivery and awareness of implicit bias and systemic racism through diverse evaluation case studies and through my own interactions, I can contribute to their growth and that of our profession.

There are many benefits of being a clinical supervisor! Most important is being able to have a collaborative relationship in working on the "why" we do what we do, and how the "why" can guide many of our decisions in staying current within the research and current best practices.

I believe it will be a two way street. Not only will I be helping my student learn I will also be learning more myself.

I am new to the field of speech pathology, but I have been a teacher for over 20 years. I have been a mentor for new teachers and now I look forward to one day becoming a clinical instructor to graduate students.

Clinical instructing is one of my favorite things to do in my career. It allows me an opportunity to articulate my clinical experience and guide a student in best practices in our field. I also find it very rewarding to be grounded in my own clinical practice and rooted to my life's passion by supporting a newer clinician. As I aspire to teach in a higher education environment one day I feel supervision gives me good practice in best explaining clinical reasoning skills rooted in foundational knowledge that would be essential in that role. I also find each student I've had challenges me to think in a different way which keeps me on my toes and helps me be more creative in my own practice as well.

There is an intrinsic reward to being a clinical educator; seeing the "light" come on for students, getting to see them develop professional relationships with patients, watching them grow from Day 1 to graduation, etc. Working with students also keeps me excited and passionate about my work; they often have a fresh perspective that I may sometimes feel has faded a little for me over time.

The all-around benefits of being a clinical instructor revolve around growth, personally and professionally. We are in a profession that requires ongoing continuing education which insinuates that we are never done learning. There is always more to learn and I feel that I can learn something from everyone.
