Objective: In this study, we sought to assess the changes in the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of athletic training program (ATP) and nurse practitioner (NP) graduate students before and after an acute care interprofessional education (IPE) workshop. Design and Setting: This was a descriptive KAP survey to be taken by participants…

Individuals with dementia require person-centered care. Healthcare education aims to prepare future professionals to implement this practice. Simulation-based training, as a component of experiential learning theory, promotes realistic learning opportunities revealing increased knowledge, comfort, and confidence for students. This study examined…

Context: The examination, diagnosis, and intervention curricular content listed in the 2020 Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education Standards for Accreditation of Professional Athletic Training Programs states that learners must be able to evaluate and manage wounds, including care and closure. Although many wound closure…

Problem: Research about paramedic education, specifically, the field internship and capstone experience is limited. Particularly scarce are studies regarding the student's perspective. Previous research (Joyce, et al., 2011) indicated paramedics view their field internship as the most valuable portion of their education. This phase of paramedic…

Context: Uncontrolled hemorrhage is a major cause of preventable death. Wound care and managing external hemorrhage are important skills for athletic trainers. Objective: Describe a laboratory activity used to allow students to practice managing uncontrolled external hemorrhage and wound packing. Background: The prevalence of active shooter and…

Anatomy is a key knowledge area in chiropractic and is formally offered in the undergraduate component of chiropractic education. There is the potential for loss of anatomy knowledge before the opportunity to apply it in a clinical setting. This study aimed to determine whether chiropractic clinicians retain a level of anatomy knowledge comparable…

Paramedics are an integral part of the Australian healthcare system and are increasingly requested to provide a growing array of services in support of improved community health. Currently there are over 6,000 undergraduate paramedic students. A pressing challenge is the development and sustainability of a dedicated group of university paramedic…

Background: The clinical perfusionist is a member of the open-heart-surgery team and responsible for operating the life support equipment that replaces the function of the patient's heart and lungs and arrests and restarts the patient's heart in the course of a Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB) procedure. In the perfusionists scope of practice, the…

Context: Athletic training education should focus on evidence-based teaching through providing authentic learning opportunities. Objective: To examine the effectiveness of 2 different instructional methods' impact on pre-athletic training students' assessment and treatment of a patient with exertional heat stroke (EHS). Design: A pretest, posttest…

In the paramedicine profession, students who strive for a career as a paramedic are placed with prehospital paramedic preceptors who interact, teach, oversee and evaluate these future professionals before they advance to their chosen profession. Preceptors are individual professionals picked by local educational institutions and have met minimal…

Context: Athletic training educators incorporate various educational strategies to teach and assess a student's clinical skill competency. These strategies vary and include simulations and standardized patients (SPs). There is currently a lack of information about the ways in which simulations and SPs are used in athletic training education and…

Older patients with dementia and delirium receive suboptimal hospital care. Policy calls for more effective education to address this though there is little consensus on what this entails. The purpose of this clarification study is to explore how practice gaps are constructed in relation to managing the confused hospitalised older patient. The…

For the author, the concept of wound care has always been a challenging topic to demonstrate. How to teach the concept without having a student in need of wound care or without having to spend money to buy another simulation manikin/model? The author has recently created a simulation to demonstrate and practice the cleaning, closing, and dressing…

A study of the oral communication experiences and training of obstetric sonographers can provide insight into the complex expectations these medical professionals face as they complete their technical tasks and communicate with patients. Unlike other diagnostic medical professionals, obstetric sonographers are expected to provide detailed…

Using principles of Applied Implementation Science, this paper examines strategies for systematically selecting and operationalising National clinical practice guidelines and intentionally creating implementation supports to ensure high fidelity use and sustainable application and outcomes.
