Cricothyrotomy is an emergency procedure that is utilized in situations that require immediate access to a breathing pathway. This procedure may be performed by professionals in a variety of healthcare fields depending upon the specific emergency scenario, so the development of an interprofessional workshop is imperative for procedural confidence…

Test anxiety is alarmingly rising and has been shown to correlate with academic performance and affect occupations and well-being. Graduate occupational therapy (OT) students encounter a rigorous workload and pressure to become entry-level practitioners. Higher levels of baseline graduate student anxiety is correlated with increased test anxiety.…

The purpose of this investigation was to explore the perceptions of the sufficiency and relevancy of physical therapy anatomy education among early, mid, and late career physical therapists. A survey was distributed via email through clinical networks in the greater Mid-Atlantic region, the American Physical Therapy Association Pennsylvania…

Context: With the shift to a graduate-level professional degree in athletic training, it was hypothesized that immersive clinical experiences (ICEs) would be more effectively integrated into curricula than non-ICEs (N-ICEs) and better prepare students for practice. Objective: To longitudinally compare clinical engagement opportunities in ICEs…

This interprofessional education (IPE) project was designed to prepare students to work and lead in an increasingly complex healthcare environment. The purpose of this project is to describe and measure accounting and occupational therapy students' perception and value of participating in an IPE learning activity and how the activity enriched the…

The emergence of augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR) modalities has increased the potential of simulation in paramedicine education. The integration of AR/MR into education programmes should be underpinned by sound learning design; however, little is known about their effective use. The purpose of this scoping review was to identify the…

Purpose: This study aimed to assess final-year students in speech and language therapy (SLT), physiotherapy and rehabilitation (PT), and occupational therapy (OT) programs on their perceptions of teamwork in neurological rehabilitation, specifically focusing on the role of speech and language therapists (SLTs) in the team. Materials and Methods:…

Higher education institutions require innovative work integrated learning models to deliver sufficient and appropriate practice opportunities for students. This study describes the experience of an interprofessional placement course by students enrolled in a prosthetic and orthotic degree at a regional university in Australia. Twelve…

Educating students to become evidence-based practitioners remains a significant challenge in health professional education. Clinical placements form a significant element of curriculum, and the impact of students' work integrated learning experiences on their ability and desire to practice in an evidence-based manner remains largely unexplored.…

Elective genetic testing (EGT) programs that provide pharmacogenomic information to guide medication management and screen for medically actionable disease predispositions are emerging in a number of health systems. Primary care providers (PCPs) are at the forefront of test initiation, patient education, and management of EGT results. However,…

Case-based learning (CBL) is a valuable approach to healthcare education, fostering deeper learning, clinical reasoning, and decision-making skills, especially in complex medical conditions such as dysphagia. For speech-language pathologists who manage dysphagia, a CBL approach provides interactive hands-on learning opportunities. We examined the…

Scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) is recognized in Boyer's model, along with discovery, integration, and application, as one of four essential scholarships and is the systematic study of teaching and learning. As such, in 2007, the American Occupational Therapy Foundation (AOTF), and later the American Occupational Therapy Association…

Constructivist teaching approaches rely on students to be active participants in their learning. A flipped classroom is a constructivist approach that requires the students to complete pre-learning activities outside of class. Thus, in class the students can practice and engage in team-based discussions and teacher guided learning. We delivered…

The purposes of this study were to 1) develop an English communication mobile application based on emergency medical service situations to meet efficiency criterion E1/E2 = 80/80; 2) compare the students' English communication skills before and after implementing the mobile application; and 3) examine the students' attitudes toward the use of the…

Occupational therapists play a vital role in the care of individuals with feeding, eating, and swallowing (FES) disorders across the lifespan. Although there are certain standards created by the Accreditation Council of Occupational Therapy (ACOTE) for understanding of assessment and management practices specific to FES, there are inconsistencies…
