The present study surveyed occupational therapy clinical supervisors working in a number of university affiliated hospitals in the Montreal area, via a mail questionnaire. Therapists were first asked to rate the importance of behaviours in facilitating student learning during clinical instruction. Then they were asked to report their attendance at continuing education courses on clinical instruction. The relationship between attendance at these courses, number of years of clinical experience and rating of behaviours was investigated. Therapists with few years of clinical experience had a low rate of attendance and rated behaviours as important more frequently. Therapists who attended a course rated behaviours as important less frequently. Behaviours rated as most important belonged to the area of communication, followed by the areas of teaching and interpersonal relationships. The results of this study demonstrated that a workshop on clinical instruction would benefit therapists by improving their clinical supervisory skills.
