The Double-Edged Sword of Moral Distress and Burnout Among Health Science Clinical Educators

Abstract Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations. This poster explores the prevalence of moral distress and burnout among health science professionals who serve as clinical educators, as well as the correlation to number of students per year. This is vital to understand while there is a heightened need for skilled clinical educators as education programs grow in size and number in addition to the current increased demand for clinical placements after suspensions and delays as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
