Abstract
This article analyzes the decision to have students collaborate in representing clients in clinical courses. It identifies the reasons commonly put forward in support of that decision and discusses some of the potential benefits and disadvantages of teaming students. In discussing these benefits and disadvantages, some of the available empirical evidence on the impact of collaboration on learning and outcomes is presented. The article also identifies some areas for further study and recommends some approaches that might be used in clinical programs to maximize the benefits of teaming students while minimizing some of the disadvantages.
