Abstract:

This book considers social interaction as both the means and conduit
for professional identity development in Allied Healthcare
Professional (AHCP) teaching and learning contexts, from the classroom
to the clinic room and beyond.
Concepts and contexts within AHCP education are presented before
empirical data are discussed. Drawing on qualitative data from allied
healthcare students and professionals within predominantly the
disciplines of speech and language therapy, physiotherapy and
occupational therapy, arguments are made for the recognition of social
interaction as an explicit process integral to education in this
healthcare sphere, yet often taken for granted or deemed a mere
by-product of day-to-day activities in teaching and learning. Failing
to recognise the value and force of social interaction in such
contexts is detrimental to the development of discipline-specific and
discipline-generic ways of honing a professional identity, as
individuals both reflect upon and navigate the trajectory of their
student and professional pathways.
