Succeeding in the Practicum offers a full picture of the practicum experience for the future allied health professional. It describes the value and purpose of practicum, expectations for the journey, and the benefits and opportunities it presents. You'll learn how to handle new challenges and develop professionally.

You'll not only read; you'll actively engage. Self-prep questions will prompt you to consider how to respond in certain situations, while a journal lets you record and reflect on you experience. A role-play scenario in each chapter guides you in evaluating the behavior of participants.

The 3rd Edition builds on practical guidance for job searches, interviews and effective communication.
