  This study looked at whether supervising an occupational therapy student lowered the clinical instructor's productivity ratings due to having to instruct the student throughout treatments and evaluations. Study results contradict the belief that supervising Level II fieldwork students lowers clinicians' productivity. These findings suggest that practice area and productivity without a student are important factors influencing the productivity of clinicians supervising a fieldwork student. In my personal experience I feel as if clinical instructors who take on students, if they are willing to learn and work hard, actually increase their level of productivity in the end. Obviously, in the first few weeks of fieldwork it may be slower than normal, but around the 6 week mark it becomes extremely helpful to have an extra therapist in the clinic.
