Preparedness for practice, competency and skill development and learning in rural and remote clinical placements: A scoping review of the perspective and experience of health students.

When considering health professionals' requirements and responsibilities, competence is a complex concept that extends beyond knowledge to encompass understanding, application, technical skills, problem-solving, and clinical judgment. Rural clinical placements provide a rich learning environment for students to improve their competencies, self-esteem, and preparedness for practice (PFP). This scoping review aimed to identify pre-registration health students' perspectives on rural placement regarding competency and skill development, and enablers and barriers to learning.

Understanding how to develop and implement culturally responsive stroke care requires research approaches that are informed by and with Aboriginal people.
