  A key component in all allied health professions is the exposure to clinical experience during fieldwork rotations. Supervisors have reported positive and negative aspects of taking on fieldwork students. It allows supervisors to prepare the next generation of the profession and stay up on recent research. The most common negative aspect discussed has been lower productivity while supervising students. The majority of research regarding the impact of supervising students on productivity was primarily conducted before the PPACA of 2010. A retrospective cohort study was conducted in order to examine whether or not supervisors mentoring Level II fieldwork students had significant differences in productivity versus when they do not have a student. There were 109 clinician-student encounters that were observed and included in the data set. Results contradicted the perception of decreased productivity when mentoring a student versus without a student. Clinicians that were productive before a student, continued to be productive with a student and vice-versa. Inpatient rehab and pediatric settings indicated higher productivity with students, while outpatient setting was associated with less productivity.
  These results suggest the importance of finding good fieldwork sites, where students are having good experiences is essential to the learning process and learning about productivity as a whole in the profession.
