T he clinical teac her has to assum e responsibility for ( 1) th e p atient being treated by th e student; (2 ) the individual student; (3) society and (4) the physiotherapy profession. T h e clinical teacher has to g uarantee utm ost p a tie n t care, and th a t only com petent students should qualify. I t is thus im p o rtan t th a t th e clinical teacher should constantly reassess his o r her clinical p e rfo r­ mance, should b e involved in clinical w ork themselves and should act as m odels o f good professional behaviour. “T h e ir personal w arm th tow ards th e ir patients, and dem on stratio n o f p ractical a b ility coupled w ith caring concern, w ill be appreciated b y the students.” G uidelines fo r the assessm ent o f interp erso nal, intel­ lectual and technical com petence fo r the physiotherapy student as w ell as a student clinical assessm ent card are suggested.
