Conclusion
The training and education provided to the undergraduate radiography students prior to their internship is sufficient to assure the gradual development of the competencies and characteristics of the future radiographers.
Additionally,
the effective integration into the multidisciplinary team and a relationship of trust with the supervisor are also fundamental for the student’s development.
The pedagogical atmosphere is considered pivotal,
with reference to students’ learning activities and competent development within the clinical setting.
The most desired competencies in a student by supervisors are communication skills with both patients and other team members,
a high level of theoretical knowledge and performance in practice,
fast learning and the overall motivation exhibited throughout the internship.
Furthermore,
supervisors are satisfied with both their own and students’ availability,
showing great expectations for the future radiographers.
