There continues to be a shortage of placements in Canada for fieldwork education. It is crucial for occupational therapists to explore and implement a variety of supervision alternatives to maximize the utilization of fieldwork sites. This paper describes a model of split clinical placements, one in which students divide their time between two therapists who work in either different areas of clinical practice or in the same area of clinical practice. The supervision strategies that are most effective with this model are discussed as well as the advantages and disadvantages of this approach.
