AB Effective clinical education relies on consistent terminology and clearly defined roles and expectations. This brief communication explores the complexities inherent in the nomenclature of clinical education, aiming to clarify and standardize the terms used across educational settings. Common roles in clinical education and instruction are defined; the roles of the clinical coordinator, affiliate education supervisor, and clinical instructor are discussed; and the key responsibilities and tasks of each clinical education role are explained. Understanding the nomenclature, roles, and responsibilities of those involved in clinical education helps standardize clinical education and provides a more efficient and effective clinical education process.
