Unfortunately, there is little consensus on how best to prepare learners for the transition between academic and clinical learning. We explored learners’ perceptions of hospital-based orientation and resulting preparedness for clinical placement. Methods: Sixty-three learners participated in a total of 18 semi-structured focus groups, during their clinical placements. Data were analyzed thematically. Results: We organized learners’ perceptions of hospital-based orientation that support their preparedness for placement into three themes: (1) adequate site orientation for learner acquisition of organization acumen and (2) clinical preceptor training to support unit/service and (3) individual components. Conclusion: Thoughtful attention to hospital-based orientation can support learners in transitioning from academic to clinical learning. Hospital organizations should attend to all three components during orientation to better support learners’ preparedness for clinical learning.
