Mentoring & support practices for final year medical students during a pandemic - 'The covid doctors'.

Background: Transition from final-year medical student to newly graduated doctor is challenging with evidence of associated increased patient mortality and medical errors. Previous work suggests tackling preparedness alone does not 'solve' this transition. The current focus on mentoring and support provision during this period and is an under-researched area.

Navigating the system: Physiotherapy student perceptions of performance-based assessment.

Background: Performance-based assessment (PBA) is an integral component of health professional education as it determines students' readiness for independent practice. Stakeholder input can provide valuable insight regarding its challenges, facilitators, and impact on student learning, which may further its evolution. Currently, evidence of stakeholder opinion is limited.

Clinical performance assessment tools in physiotherapy practice education: a systematic review.

Background: Clinical performance assessment tools (CPATs) used in physiotherapy practice education need to be psychometrically sound and appropriate for use in all clinical settings in order to provide an accurate reflection of a student's readiness for clinical practice. Current evidence to support the use of existing assessment tools is inconsistent.

Objectives: To conduct a systematic review synthesising evidence relating to the psychometric and edumetric properties of CPATS used in physiotherapy practice education.
