Clinical Placement Coaches (CPCs) are medical practitioners employed by Bond University to provide near-peer support for Phase 2 medical students on placement at specific hospital sites – Gold Coast Hospital & Health Service, Tweed Valley Hospital, The Wesley, John Flynn and Pindara Private Hospitals.
This new initiative launched on 19 August 2024 and was developed after feedback from students, faculty and hospital staff that additional placement-based, clinical support was desirable.
CPCs add to the existing student support services provided by Bond University and our hospital partners. This new program is designed to complement existing clinical supervision. CPCs will liaise closely with Clinical Leads, Clinical Supervisors and placement coordinators and managers and their roles are tailored to individual placements as required.
Student engagement with CPCs assist students transitioning to new placements, increase opportunities to practice generalisable clinical skills with feedback and help to identify learning needs, set learning goals and sign-off WBAs. CPCs can sign a maximum of two WBAs per student per 7-week placement and cannot sign ITAs. CPCs are familiar with the hospital sites and will be trained in bedside teaching and clinical coaching.
CPCs are available to offer teaching, feedback and tailored support for all students at their site, but where there is high demand, they will prioritise students in their first clinic year transitioning from pre-clinical to clinical placements or between public/private settings. CPCs can also assist students requiring academic support.
