Eight third-semester graduate students participated in pre- and post-, semistructured interviews with their practicum coordinator as well as a “talk aloud” procedure. Interviews were analyzed to examine changes in self-efficacy and knowledge. A majority of students demonstrated evidence of benefit for the practicum in developing confidence in working with a diverse population, but students needed multiple opportunities with a variety of clinical education styles to continue to develop clinical knowledge.
