Exploring health care graduates' conceptualisations of preparedness for practice: A longitudinal qualitative research study.

This novel study extends previous uniprofessional work by illustrating a broader array of conceptualisations, differences between professions, solicited versus unsolicited talk and longitudinal cohort patterns. We encourage health care educators to discuss these different P4P understandings in graduate transition interventions. Further research is needed to explore other stakeholders' conceptualisations, and over a duration beyond the early graduate transition.
