Supervise and setting clear guides is an important part of a sucessful internship program.
It is important to assess and evaluate the student learner's performance while at the external site of internship. We are ultimately responsible and accountable for the student's academic and clinical experience. We must ensure the standards are met and students are practicing as outlined in the course expectations.
During the internship, supervisors should offer support and guidance to the student.There should be an open environment for feedback, communication, and questions.
Supervising students in the clinical setting is relative to their success in their roles. With adequate feedback and direction, the student can shape into their newly attained roles comfortably.
Supervision is important in internships.
The intern supervisor has many roles, including supporting, mentoring, leading, and evaluating the intern during their time in the workplace.
A student performing an internship needs supervision from both the school and the business, this needs to be provided so the student doesn't feel lost or like he/she has just been tossed to the wolves (so to speak). An internship can speak volumes about the company, both good and bad, as well as the educational institution. Providing support to the student not only shows concern and care about the student both professionally and personally but also shows belief in the student.

Evaluations need to happen frequently and provide the interns an evaluation to ensure they can meet the goals that are lacking perfection and they may improve. Don't wait until time crunches, and they will become frustrated and have low confidence.
Setting goals, but also making those goals realistic is key. Putting tools in place to ensure the goals are met is vital to the success of the students.
It is important for supervisor to share knowledge, manage, and evaluate performance of the intern.
The supervisor's role in an internship coordinator position is vital in ensuring the successful execution of internship programs and providing valuable learning experiences for students. Supervisors should provide monitoring and support, academic integration, orientation and training, and assessment and evaluation.
Supervision and coordination are very important in a learning environment. As a instructor, supervision from an academic & mentor perspective are proven to be very successful in the development of both the student and instructor.
In our case, the deliberate and continuous observation and guidance of the "intern" is vital to help ensure they are given the best possible experience while on site
Student have to have defined goals before externship and the tools to achieve them
It is important to plan experiences that will give the student intern a good over-all picture of the organization's operation and culture. It is also important to evaluate these experiences so adjustments can be made to improve the experience.
Goals and outcomes are key.
Students that are made aware of the expectations beforehand will be more successful and it is more beneficial to the student and internship site.
Supervising students appropriately throughout the internship process is very important.
The intern must be supervised from both the academic and employment perspectives. The on-site supervisor and on-campus internship coordinator must work together to ensure that all of the objectives of the internship are met. The On-site education coordinator should meet weekly with the student and preceptor, provide mentoring, and evaluate both the student learning opportunities and compliance with the practices of the organization and the academic institution.
