Summary Some of the research into education which might be applicable to clinical teaching is reviewed. Suggestions are offered as to how these may be used to improve on the present situation and implications for development of clinical teaching are discussed. “Clinical practicum is a critical part of the total preparation of one who would prepare himself for the evaluation and alleviation of speech and hearing disorders. Before knowledge learned from books and classroom lectures can be put to use, a considerable degree of clinical competence must be developed. For this the speech pathologist must practise with people, and he must work under careful supervision until there is no doubt that he can work independently.” Villarreal (1964).
