AB  - There  is  both  an  art  and  a  science  to  the  delivery  of  healthcare.  The  safe  and  effective  healthcare  practitioner  must  become  capable  in  both  aspects  of  care.  Throughout  history,  the  education  of  each  generation  of  healthcare  providers  is  the  responsibility  of  those  already  engaged  in  the  practice  of  the  profession.  This  results  in  certain  unique  challenges  for  both  the  provider  and  the  novice  learning  to  acquire  the  skills  necessary  to  provide  care.  There  is  benefit  obviously  to  the  student  in  their  clinical  education,  but  there  is  also  benefit  to  the  facility  and  clinicians  that  provide  the  clinical  education.  The  student  in  the  clinical  setting  has  unique  ethical  and  legal  ramifications.  The  student  is  not  licensed,  yet  through  their  relationship  with  their  clinical  instructor  they  are  responsible  to  adhere  to  all  of  the  legal  requirements  of  the  jurisdiction  in  which  they  are  practicing.  They  are  also  responsible  to  adhere  to  the  Code  of  Ethics  of  the  American  Physical  Therapy  Association.  All  of  this  occurs  within  the  context  of  both  the  facility  they  are  placed  at  and  their  academic  institution.  It  is  easy  to  understand  how  the  student  can  find  themselves  at  times  conflicted  regarding  their  responsibility.  While  they  may  understand  and  appreciate  their  role  as  they  develop  into  an  entry-level  practitioner,  they  are  responsible  to  fulfill  that  role  under  the  supervision  of  their  clinical  instructor.  The  cases  in  this  section  highlight  some  of  the  different  ways  in  which  the  relationship  between  the  student  and  the  clinical  instructor  (CI)  may  be  challenged.
