This paper examines the critical role that preceptors in physiotherapy and nursing play in clinical settings, emphasising their contributions to patient care and professional growth. Students who participate in clinical internships gain invaluable practical experience that connects their theoretical understanding to real-world applications. Students who work in nursing contexts are exposed to high-pressure environments and develop their clinical decision-making and collaboration abilities through involvement in acute care. Students studying physiotherapy provide a substantial contribution to rehabilitation units, where their involvement aids in patients' recuperation and fosters the development of critical therapeutic skills. The best practices for integrating students into clinical teams are also included in this review, with a focus on the value of a structured orientation, ongoing mentorship, and creating a collaborative atmosphere. It also looks at the difficulties and impediments to successful student involvement, such as institutional limitations, psychological strain, and the requirement for strong coping skills. Retaining patient trust and providing high-quality care depend heavily on ethical factors like informed consent and confidentiality. The evaluation emphasises how clinical exposure helps students become career ready by preparing them for the challenges of professional practice in the long run. To maximise student experiences and results, interdisciplinary learning opportunities and efficient team integration are crucial. The review sheds light on these areas and emphasises the necessity of ongoing funding and innovation in clinical education in order to produce skilled, self-assured, morally upright healthcare workers.
