description Social participation through practice placements may be considered a fundamental form of learning, where students are given the opportunity to gradually become part of their community of professionals. Most professional education programs have compulsory practice placement as part of the course. However, practice placement is differently organized and of different scope across professional educations. Research literature evaluating practice placement quality often relates to professional educations individually, without comparing quality criteria across educational fields. The objective of this review is to examine conditions for high quality in professional educations’ practice placement. A rapid systematic review was performed to identify and analyze aspects of quality in practice placement using Norwegian data published during the last 15 years on 19 different educational programs. The current study adds to extant literature by comparing quality in practice placement across educational programs and between relevant actors, summarizing differences and similarities, and pointing out knowledge gaps for further research.
