Occupational therapists are entering private practice in ever increasing numbers. In order to gain the skills to practice in this area, students should have the opportunity to experience private practice fieldwork placements. However, the number offered in private practice settings continues to be limited. The purpose of this exploratory qualitative study was to identify the benefits, the barriers, and the strategies associated with providing fieldwork opportunities in private practice. Methods. Data were obtained through semi-structured interviews with six occupational therapists in private practice. Results. Results indicated that participating in fieldwork education affords benefits to the profession of occupational therapy, to the clinician, and to the facility. Potential barriers included student characteristics, cost, time, travel and legalities. Involvement from the university and the private setting were considered necessary for providing and implementing strategies. Clinical Implications. The findings have implications for increasing private practice placements for future students in occupational therapy and other health care professions offering clinical placements as a component of their formal education.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/000841740307000106","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,3,27]],"date-time":"2013-03-27T18:09:56Z","timestamp":1364407796000},"page":"42-50","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Private Practice: Benefits, Barriers and Strategies of Providing Fieldwork Placements"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"70","author":[{"given":"Kym","family":"Sloggett","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nancy","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Debra","family":"Cameron","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2003,2,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-000841740307000106","first-page":"498","volume":"59","author":"Alsop A.","year":"1996","journal-title":"Taking stock and taking chances: Creating new opportunities for fieldwork education"},{"key":"bibr2-000841740307000106","first-page":"7","volume":"61","author":"Backman C.","year":"1994","journal-title":"Looking forward to innovative fieldwork options"},{"key":"bibr3-000841740307000106","volume-title":"Methods in health","author":"Bowling A.","year":"1997"},{"key":"bibr4-000841740307000106","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/000841749005700305"},{"key":"bibr5-000841740307000106","first-page":"251","volume":"311","author":"Britten N.","year":"1995","journal-title":"Qualitative interviews in medical research"},{"key":"bibr6-000841740307000106","volume":"2000","author":"Canadian Association of Occupational Therapy","year":"2001","journal-title":"CAOT membership statistics"},{"key":"bibr7-000841740307000106","unstructured":"Canadian Association of Occupational Therapy.
