- Title
THE USE OF SIMULATION TO SUPPLEMENT PRACTICUM TIME.
- Authors
Witschen, Brian
- Abstract
The health care industry is projected to grow due to a variety of factors, including an ageing population. Certain barriers exist to increasing enrollment at training institutes such as limited clinical opportunities for learners to train. Simulation-based learning is an emerging practice in the education of health care students and workers that may help mitigate training barriers while still ensuring competence. This presentation will summarize the current literature regarding the use of simulation to replace clinical time. The presentation will also describe the findings of a research study that was conducted at NAIT whereby 25% of students' pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), and 40% of students' OR rotations were replaced with simulation time and student performance was then measured on summative performance evaluations. The presentation will conclude by discussing opportunities to optimize the integration of simulation and clinical-based training for RT students.
