Professional, clinical and field placements in metropolitan and rural areas are a core and essential element of nursing, midwifery, and allied health programs offered by the University of South Australia. We support and acknowledge student placement supervisors who regularly supervise students as part of their professional role, by offering a Clinical Supervisor Support Program designed to support those who frequently supervise UniSA students.
The Clinical Supervisor Support Program has two levels – Supporter and Partner. Each level has specific criteria that need to be met. Your eligibility is based on either the number of students supervised in the preceding year or the total hours of supervision provided.
Supervision of students on placement typically involves:
Access to University of South Australia Library services, including access to the numerous online journals and databases to which the University subscribes
A UniSA email address.
Once your application is approved, you will receive a letter of agreement and computer network access form. Once these forms have been completed and returned to UniSA, you will be granted access to the University network. The letter of agreement will contain information about how to access Library services.
Formal acknowledgement of appreciation will be sent to the relevant individual clinician early in the following year.
A formal acknowledgement of appreciation for a department or organisation is available upon request. To be eligible, the department or organisation must have at least three Supervisors/Facilitators in the Support Program. Please contact the Project Officer: Clinical Education & Equity to request this.
