Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of the introduction of Clinical Clerkship teaching on practice supervisors. Methods: Twenty-seven physical therapists who participated in a study session on Clinical Clerkship were included in the study. A questionnaire was provided to the participants addressing their concerns about conducting a new practical training. Subsequently, a similar survey was conducted with 14 participants who supervised the practice, and changes in their concerns about overseeing the practice were examined before and after their supervision. Further, the advantages and disadvantages of the Clinical Clerkship were surveyed in an open-end format. Conclusion: Participants perceived multiple benefits in supervising practical training on Clinical Clerkship and had reduced anxiety about overseeing such sessions. Sufficient preparation and consideration by clinical training facilities and schools are required to ensure smoother clinical training and establish Clinical Clerkship as a standard teaching method in the future.
