Effect of Physical Therapy Students' Clinical Experiences on Clinician Productivity.

Background: Physical therapy clinical education experiences (CEEs) are difficult to secure, particularly first-level CEEs. Our purpose was to determine 1) what impact student full-time CEEs have on PT clinician productivity and 2) whether there is a productivity difference between first vs final CEEs.

Methods: Productivity logs, including possible factors impacting productivity, were distributed to clinician-student pairings on first and final CEEs.
