The aim of this chapter is to provide the reader with a broad overview of clinical simulation using case examples to highlight the evolving multidomain teaching pedagogy in healthcare professional programs.

Purpose: The purpose of this article is to promote the viewpoint that simulation debriefing is a critical element of the simulation experience, which serves to facilitate students' ability to synthesize information and construct new mental models as they prepare for their future work as speech-language pathologists. The use of simulations in…

Context: There is a prominent need to include high-quality educational content within professional athletic training programs relevant to the unique needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and asexual (LGBTQIA+) patients. Although the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Standards for Professional Programs details the…

Learning Analytics (LA) systems can offer new insights into learners' behaviours through analysis of multiple data streams. There remains however a dearth of research about how LA interfaces can enable effective communication of educationally meaningful insights to teachers and learners. This highlights the need for a participatory, horizontal…

A recent interest in the improvement of teamwork in the healthcare industry has occurred as well as a realization that medical errors are often related to poorly functioning interprofessional teams. This interest is triggering changes in pre-professional accreditation standards for allied health programs which require the use of interprofessional…

Context: Clinical education is a foundational component of healthcare education by which students acquire, practice, and demonstrate competency in clinical proficiencies through classroom, laboratory, and clinical experiences. Currently, the most common practice of clinical education in athletic training is clinical integration. Objective: The…

Nursing education involves a practice-oriented curriculum in which emphasis is placed on both theoretical knowledge and psychomotor skills. In skill-based education, where learning through practice occupies a central role, it is important to ensure the integration of theoretical knowledge into practice. In this context, simulations represent an…

This article shares one university's experience in deploying the Community Action Poverty Simulation (CAPS) for interprofessional learning. Little guidance exists for implementing large-scale interprofessional simulations in higher education, especially with students from various healthcare professions. We will present our efforts implementing…

Context: Athletic training programs blend didactic experiences with clinical practice opportunities with varied patient populations. Traditionally, clinical education relies heavily on the preceptor to supervise, instruct, and mentor the professional athletic training student (P-ATS) during clinical education. Objective: To describe a…

This teaching note describes one example of a shift from content to competence in a graduate MSW course teaching advanced mindfulness complex practice behaviors and skills for use in direct practice. The development of advanced mindfulness competencies and skills provides a conceptual base o shift teaching from lengthy lectures to experiential…

This detailed book by the most experienced authors in the field describes how to develop and implement the objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) for social work education. In addition to a wealth of practical material in the appendices, two videos produced especially for this book (accessible online) show the OSCE process step-by-step.…

Attention to the core practices of teaching necessitates core pedagogies in teacher preparation. This article outlines the diffusion of one such pedagogy from medical to teacher education. The concept of clinical simulations is outlined through the lens of "signature pedagogies" and their uncertain, engaging, formative qualities.…

High-fidelity nursing simulation is an innovative technology that has changed the delivery of post-secondary nursing education. Overwhelming research supports the use of high-fidelity simulation in nursing to demonstrate enhanced critical thinking, caring behaviours, and collaboration. Furthermore, high-fidelity simulation provides the learner…

The use of high fidelity simulation (HFS) learning opportunities in nursing education has received increased attention in the literature. This article describes the design of a systematic framework used to promote critical inquiry and provide meaningful simulation clinical experiences for second year nursing students. Critical inquiry, as defined…

The simulated clinical laboratory is part of a senior clinical course at the College of St. Catherine focusing on nursing intervention in client situations that encompass multiple problems or require rapid decision making, communication, and intervention. The simulation includes video and telephone role playing. (CH)
