The aim of this project was, therefore, to develop a novel model for virtual undergraduate clinical placements for physiotherapy students that would allow fulfilment of the postponed 10 placements and be scalable to be delivered nationally throughout Connect and across multiple HEI's. There was clear demand from our partner HEI's for student placements and so we developed an initial placement model that combined shadowing virtual clinics with creation of online exercise classes using the Facebook live platform and virtual projects and presentations (figure 1).	./cache/cord-292951-7bgavlam.txt	./txt/cord-292951-7bgavlam.txt
