SIMBA
Simulation-based learning in Occupational Therapy Education
About the project
The main objective of SIMBA is to integrate simulation-based learning (SBL) and evaluation into all phases of occupational therapy training, so that students are active participants in their learning process and feel qualified when entering working life as occupational therapists after graduation. The objective of SIMBA is to design and apply the evidence-based SBL to the various phases of the training of occupational therapy between five partner organisations.
